Chapter 033: Sword Battle

Sima Hongyan looked at Ban Lingruo with wide eyes, and said strangely, "How could you have this idea?" He and I are buddies, just like you. You wouldn't guess that the first time I met him, it was a quarrel, and I made him unable to get off the stage in front of many people. Who would like a weirdo like me who has a bad reputation, has been divorced by the royal family, and the family is in decline? ”

Ban Lingruo looked at Sima Hongyan in surprise and exclaimed, "You still quarrel with His Royal Highness the Ninth so that he can't get off the stage?" You're really unexpected, but I don't think you're weird, I like you. He grinned.

Sima Hongyan also smiled: "Yes, don't say anything else, I'm still quite a friend!" After speaking, he put his arm around Ban Lingruo's shoulders and strode forward.

Mingfeng Tower is not far away, and it didn't take a while to arrive. This place is the first time Sima Hongyan has come, and from the outside, it is magnificent. However, there is no plaque, only a small sign of "Mingfeng Building" is hung next to the door. If you didn't know in advance, you wouldn't have seen that this is a restaurant.

When he entered the inside, a guy immediately greeted him, nodded to Sima Hongyan and smiled: "This is Miss Sima, the room set by His Royal Highness Nine is here, please come with me." ”

When he went up to the second floor, he opened one of the doors and invited everyone in. After entering, everyone was shocked. The decoration in this room is extremely luxurious and exquisite, and even the flowers and plants on the windowsill are of precious species. Ban Lingruo looked at the antique porcelain placed on the viewing shelf, and it turned out to be precious and genuine.

There were no seats in this room, only a chaired tea table, which seemed to be for resting, and there was a suite inside. Sima Hongyan stepped in, only to see a round table that could seat ten people in the center, and the wood of the round table was actually made of mahogany. The ten chairs are also made of mahogany. The dishes, spoons and chopsticks on the table are all made of jade, and it is estimated that each piece is worth a lot of money.

Sima Hongyan frowned, unable to figure out what Yan Hong meant by inviting them to such a luxurious place. Although the Nine Emperors are royal nobles, he never talks about pomp and circumstance when he is with him, and he can even sit down and drink with him at the roadside tea stall, and he has never disliked it at all. This time the arrangement was so arrogant, not quite like the style of the Nine Emperor Princes, Sima Hongyan had a trace of doubt in his heart.

Just as he was wondering, there was a knock on the door, and someone walked in. Sima Hongyan was in the inner room, and he heard Ban Lingruo, Qinghan and the others outside say together: "See Your Highness!" ”

Sima Hongyan hurriedly walked out and was about to speak, but he was stunned, the person who came in was not the Ninth Emperor Prince Yan Hong, but the Great Prince Yan Qi. There was another person behind him, and if he looked closely, it turned out to be Yan Ze, the second prince who had not been seen for a long time.

Seeing the two Yanling princes appear together today, Sima Hongyan was secretly surprised and bowed down. The eldest prince Yan Qi took three steps and made two steps, and said in his mouth: "No courtesy, no courtesy!" "Rushed over to help Sima Hongyan. Sima Hongyan didn't wait for his hand to touch him, and stood up.

But after standing up, he found that Ban Lingruo and the others were still kneeling on the ground, and the two princes turned a blind eye. Sima Hongyan felt slightly angry, and asked Yan Qi, "What does Your Highness mean?" Don't you see my friends still kneeling there? ”

Yan Qi really didn't see it, he came into the house and looked for Sima Hongyan everywhere. The second prince, Yan Ze, pretended to be deaf and dumb, and everything had nothing to do with him.

Asked by Sima Hongyan, Yan Qi came to his senses, and hurriedly apologized to Sima Hongyan, urgently ordered everyone who was kneeling to get up, and beckoned everyone to come to the table.

When Sima Hongyan saw Ban Lingruo and the others get up, there was a look of horror in his eyes. Then he asked Yan Qi, "I don't know what it means for His Highness to invite us here in the name of His Royal Highness the Nine?" ”

Yan Qi's face was obviously a little embarrassed, and he said with a smile: "It's not an impostor, the ninth brother will be there later." I just took the opportunity to treat you to a light meal, and I want to talk to you about something! ”

Sima Hongyan really didn't want to be involved too much with these princes, so he said a little unceremoniously: "You and I are not familiar with each other, it seems that there is nothing to say, right?" Since several princes are gathered here, it is better for us civilians to avoid it, so as not to sweep away the princes' Yaxing! After speaking, regardless of whether he agreed or not, he pulled Ban Lingruo and walked out.

Who knows, Yan Ze was standing at the door, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, he just blocked the door, and looked indifferent, anyway, he didn't mean to get out of the way.

Yan Qi was continuously bumped by Sima Hongyan, but he was not angry. just smiled and said, "Hongyan, why do you always have this attitude towards me, and you are still angry with me?" ”

"Stop!" Sima Hongyan's face changed color, and he said, "Your Highness, you and I have no friendship, please don't call it so insane." Since you and I don't know each other very well, I can't mention that I'm angry with you. In the future, please respect yourself, Your Highness, and if there is nothing wrong, please let us leave! ”

Yan Qi was also a little angry at Sima Hongyan's lack of face at this time, and said: "Hongyan, forget the past. Why do you care so much? I asked you to come today to tell you that I have already mentioned the marriage to my father, and my father has given permission, so I can always compensate you, right? If you're still not satisfied, it's a big deal that I beg my father to return Liao Yunhan's marriage contract, it's always okay, right? ”

Sima Hongyan heard what he meant, and he actually wanted to make him a concubine.

This great prince is simply self-righteous to the extreme! Sima Hongyan laughed angrily, and in an instant, his face changed greatly, and his face was like frost, and his eyes showed a fierce light. Yan Qi was taken aback by her expression, and couldn't help but take a step back.

Sima Hongyan took a step forward and said sharply: "Your Highness doesn't know where your confidence comes from? Why do you think I want to marry you so sure? It seems that you still don't understand my thoughts. All right! In this case, so many people today are just a good witness. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled Ban Lingruo's long sword out of its sheath, pulled the long hair from behind his shoulder, and before everyone could understand it, the long sword was raised, and a wisp of black silk was suddenly cut off.

Everyone was shocked, Sima Hongyan held the strand of long hair, and said loudly: "The body is skinny, and the parents are affected!" Today I swear by it. From now on, he will have nothing to do with the eldest prince, let alone marry him. If you break your oath, do so! With that, he threw the strand of hair to the ground.

Yan Qi was shocked and angry, pointed at Sima Hongyan and said in a trembling voice: "You...... You ...... "You have been for a long time, but you can't speak."

The rest of the people were also frightened by Sima Hongyan's move, Ban Lingruo came up and snatched the long sword in Sima Hongyan's hand, looked at the cut half of the long hair, and couldn't help crying. Qinghan also came over to grab Sima Hongyan, crying and shouting: "Miss! You—Why are you suffering? ”

Sima Hongyan's face was still cold, and he asked in a calm tone: "Your Highness, are you satisfied now?" Deadhearted? ”

Yan Qi shuddered, he didn't expect Sima Hongyan to hate himself to such an extent. He didn't say a word, turned around and left, and in a hurry he almost bumped into Yan Ze who was standing at the door.

The scene that happened just now, Yan Ze watched it coldly. Sima Hongyan was so strong, it was beyond his expectations. At this moment, he was smiling at the corner of his mouth with interest, looking at Sima Hongyan.

Although Sima Hongyan was as cold as frost and righteous in his words, he was not angry in his heart. Only in this way can the confused prince figure out the situation and stop pestering himself again. The eldest prince left angrily, but the second prince didn't leave, and he stared at himself as if he was watching a play. Sima Hongyan guessed that this person must have another purpose, so he squinted his eyes and looked at the second prince.

Yan Ze saw that Sima Hongyan was also looking at him, smiled hehe, and said, "Why is Miss Sima so angry? Looking at the girl's meaning, I think I have long been dissatisfied with this marriage, why didn't I ask the emperor to take back the emperor's order earlier? It's not enough to have that kind of unsightly thing with the Northern Spirit Envoy in order to achieve the goal of withdrawing the marriage, right? ”

Sima Hongyan listened to him speak extremely gloomy, and there was a trap in his words, leading him to take the bait. It seems that this second prince is not an easy guy to deal with.

Ban Ling on the side couldn't listen to it, and couldn't help but say, "How can His Royal Highness say that? Miss Sima is above board and loyal to the emperor, how can she use those unsightly means? ”
