Ban Lingruo's expression did not change in the slightest, and he still said flatly: "Since you don't speak, then I ask, just nod or shake your head!" ”

Wen Haoxing hurriedly nodded again and again.

Ban Lingruo's voice was a little louder and asked, "Do you deny losing?" Nodding your head is admitting defeat, shaking your head is not admitting defeat, then we will continue to fight again! ”

Wen Haoxing dared to shake his head, eager to escape from this female cultivator immediately, and nodded violently without hesitation, lest Ban Ling be mistaken.

Ban Lingruo asked again: "You nod your head to admit that you lost?" Is that right? ”

Wen Haoxing never stopped at all, and kept nodding.

Ban Lingruo raised his head and said to the presiding officer, Sven, "My lord, did you hear that?" ”

The presiding officer was already stunned by Ban Lingruo's ghost-like transformation, and it wasn't until Ban Lingruo asked again that he came back to his senses and replied, "Listen, hear!" ”

Ban Lingruo said: "Then please ask the adults to preside!" ”

The presiding officer was stunned for a moment, and then he completely came to his senses, hurriedly knocked the gong, and said loudly: "In the fifth round of the competition, Yanling Ban and Ban Ling Ruo won!" ”

Ban Lingruo waited for the result, hugged his fists and saluted everyone in the audience, and then stepped down and returned to his seat. Another samurai came to the stage and wanted to carry Wen Haoxing down for treatment, but when the samurai moved him, they were surprised to find that Wen Haoxing, who had suffered such serious internal and external injuries, showed a strange look of relief on his face at this time.

In the final result, five players entered the second game, namely Nanyi Changsun Ning'er, Dongning Lanshuang, Xiyue Zuo Mansha, Yanling Guo Zidi and Ban Lingruo.

Both players failed in the first round and became the first nation to be eliminated. And Yanling also lives up to the reputation of the country of famous generals, and the two racers have passed the test.

Surprisingly, among the five people who entered the second game, there was only one man, Guo Zidi, and the other four were all women, which really made people feel a bit yin and yang.

Since the competition is a competition that consumes more physical and internal strength, before the start of the second game, the presiding officer announces that there is a half-hour break. At the same time, I also want to take this opportunity to determine the situation of Nanyi's eldest grandson Ning'er, although she won the game, she was also injured, and whether she can continue to participate in the next competition depends on the results of the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctors.

As far as the eldest grandson Ning'er is concerned, the competition obviously does not pay enough attention to the injury of the racers, and the protection of the racers is also insufficient. It stands to reason that the first focus of the competition is to protect the racers, after all, swords, fists and feet have no eyes, and it is too easy to hurt people and be injured. However, there are no specific rules to restrict the Five Nations Competition, and a few words of "don't hurt people" nonsense have no guarantee for the racers of the competition.

Thinking of the scene where the eldest grandson Ning'er was carried off the stage, Sima Hongyan felt that it was better to be a modern society under the rule of law, human rights were at least protected by the law, and no one had the right to harm others. But in this era of the supremacy of imperial power, anyone except the emperor can become a victim of imperial power, including the emperor's family and relatives.

At this moment, Sima Hongyan felt a kind of confusion for the first time, she felt that she had unknowingly become a slave of the imperial power, and even felt complacent about being able to become an imperial slave.

Everything she got today was a gift from the emperor, and even the emperor never cared about her presumptuousness. Sima Hongyan once thought that it was her talent that conquered the emperor, but now that she thinks about it, it is really ridiculous, the reason is actually just because she is now useful to the emperor. If one day she Sima Hongyan is useless, what will the emperor do to her? Or maybe the female army has grown to the point where it can really control the outcome of the war, will the emperor still put the command of the female army in his own hands? Or if one day her power worries the emperor, will the emperor still let her live?

Sima Hongyan knew the answers to these questions without thinking about it.

What if you sacrifice your life for your country? It's nothing more than giving a title, a cemetery, just like his father, that's all. It won't be long before his name will be forgotten, and it will be a matter of two things after death.

Maybe just like the eldest grandson Ning'er, the game he won desperately for the country was only exchanged for the reproachful eyes of the envoys. If the eldest grandson Ning'er is unable to participate in the next competition due to injury, then the victory she bought with her life will become worthless, and she will be punished as a sinner when she returns home.

Sima Hongyan felt an unprecedented panic, and even a cold sweat broke out on her forehead, she felt that she had been deceived by herself, blinded by Emperor Yanzhen's kind smile and his connivance with her.

Realizing this, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and Sima Hongyan was stunned.

She remembered that the first time she felt that terrifying gaze, it was either elsewhere or in the palace arranged by Emperor Yanzhen in the imperial city. At that time, I didn't think too much about it, but now that I think about it, there could be no outsiders in the palace that was heavily guarded and closed as a secret training site, and that strange gaze could only come from my own people in the palace. In other words, the person who was secretly watching him was probably the one who was sitting in the waiting area right now.

Because before going to the palace to close the secret training, Sima Hongyan can be said to have no acquaintance with many of them at all, but what will that gaze at himself be for? Sima Hongyan only thought of one possibility, and that was the person who was sent to spy on him.

And there is only one person who needs to know his every move: Emperor Yanzhen.

It's not surprising that Emperor Yanzhen dared to give himself so much power and open up so many convenient conditions for himself to build an army, and it was abnormal not to send people to watch him.

It's like Prince Yan Hao, although he is a brother to Emperor Yan Zhen, he will be under the control of Emperor Yan Zhen for the rest of his life, no matter whether Prince Yan Hao is ambitious or not, Emperor Yan Zhen will not risk letting him out of his control.

Unless the prince of Yan Hao is dead!

This is the emperor, this is the emperor's family, doubting everything is their eternal truth.

The emperor cannot be trusted, and the emperor of any country or dynasty cannot be trusted. If you want to survive in troubled times, you can only rely on yourself, and you can only rely on yourself.

Thinking of this, Sima Hongyan subconsciously raised his head to look at the sisters beside him.

Can they trust and rely on that?

Regarding this question that suddenly arose from her, Sima Hongyan felt incredulous. She couldn't imagine that she would doubt her sworn sisters, and this feeling made her very uncomfortable.

Then she thought of Yan Hong again, could it be that Yan Hong approached her to spy on herself?

Sima Hongyan didn't dare to think about it anymore, she realized that she was a bit of a bull. She tried so hard to suppress the thought that she made herself dizzy.

Shi Jinyan had already noticed that Sima Hongyan had suddenly become quite wrong, she sat down next to Sima Hongyan and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?" You okay? Are you worried about Lingruo? ”

Shi Jinyan's voice made the painful Sima Hongyan raise his head, and when he saw Shi Jinyan's eyes, Sima Hongyan immediately figured it out. The eyes of people who can disguise themselves can't deceive people, although Shi Jinyan has an indifferent look on her face, but the worry and care in her eyes can't be hidden.

In an instant, Sima Hongyan suddenly brightened, his sisters all looked at him like this, including Xiao Hongying, and even Yan Hong looked at him like this. That kind of sincerity and trust is by no means pretended.

Sima Hongyan suddenly felt ashamed, and secretly scolded that he should not doubt the friendship between his sisters.

shook Shi Jinyan's hand and said softly, "I'm fine!" ”

"It seems that I have to re-plan my own path in the future!" Sima Hongyan secretly thought in his heart.

Where did Shi Jinyan think that Sima Hongyan's psychology had undergone earth-shaking changes in this moment, and she only said that she was worried about Ban Lingruo, so she comforted her and said: "Lingruo is usually kind, but even if she is angry, she will not lose her mind, she can control herself, don't worry too much!" ”

Sima Hongyan smiled and said, "Of course, you are my sisters, of course I trust you 100% unconditionally!" ”

After listening to Sima Hongyan's words, Shi Jinyan felt that what she said was a bit too exaggerated, but she didn't think much about it, and smiled slightly.
