Chapter 152: The Kissing Ceremony
Hearing Ding Qin say this, He Yan seemed to be a lot relieved. These days, getting along with Ding Qin day and night, although she forced Ding Qin to get engaged at that time, just to stay by Ding Qin's side to seek protection, but as time went by, Ding Qin's position in He Yan's heart naturally became more and more important.
Ding Qin walked around the ground a few times by himself, and finally sat down to the side and slowly cultivated. He Yan couldn't be quiet at all now, and looked at Ding Qin a few times from time to time, and didn't sleep until late at night.
Early the next morning, the door to the cell was opened again. This time, it wasn't Sikong Qingyan, but King Xingyao and a team of followers.
Ding Qin knew his intention, but he didn't explain it first, just stepped forward and saluted and said hello.
King Xingyao snorted, sat down on the chair prepared by the eunuch, and said coldly, "Ding Qin, how have you thought about it these past few days?"
Ding Qin knew that what the king said was about staying, and said very seriously, "I said that I don't want to stay, so I won't change my opinion." ”
"Well," King Starlight's tone seemed to change slightly, "I didn't expect that your kid still had the right idea. Then let me ask you, if you lose the fight, will you be convinced?"
Ding Qin said, "If the strength is not good, of course I am convinced." If there is any deception in it, I will not accept it to death. ”
King Xingyao nodded, "Then, what if you are robbed of your relatives in Xingyao Country?"
Ding Qin knew that things were finally back to the point, so he pushed the boat down the river and said, "The matter of robbing relatives is Xingyao's folk custom." Before, it was precisely because of respect for such folk customs that I dared to beat the Six Princes and snatch He Yan back. Therefore, robbing relatives is a manifestation of strength. If I am robbed and I lose in the process of robbing my relatives, then, such a failure, I also admit it. ”
King Starlight seemed satisfied, "Well, good. That means that if someone robs you of your relatives, you may stay in the Star Country. ”
Ding Qin took a deep breath, "If I lose, then I am convinced, at least for a while, I will stay." As for the follow-up, when I become stronger, whether I leave or stay, I'm afraid it will also depend on whether there is any real relationship between the person who robbed me and me. ”
Ding Qin paused for a moment, and then said, "The matter of snatching relatives was violent at the beginning, but as time goes on, whether the two people are suitable can also be reflected. If it's true, it's self-sacrificing, and that's fine. If there is no true affection, even if the chains are added, it will not be able to lock a person's heart. ”
King Starlight nodded slowly, "Well, you're very insightful. Then I'll tell you something. Now, someone is going to rob your pro. ”
Ding Qin didn't wait for him to say, and said directly, "It's the third princess." ”
King Xingyao was slightly stunned, "How do you know?"
Ding Qin didn't hide anything, "Yesterday, the third princess came. She said she liked me from the time she was on the boat. She wanted me to marry her. I didn't agree. She said, then grab a kiss. I didn't agree at first, but she said that it was the only way I could leave the Star Country. ”
King Xingyao said, "So, according to you, even if you promise to be robbed, it is to leave?"
Ding Qin said with certainty, "Yes, I'm here to leave." Moreover, whether it is a victory or a defeat, the third princess will fight with me. If you kidnap me to marry the third princess like this, once I get out of prison, the third princess is not as strong as me, and I will soon escape. And if she had beaten me, maybe I would have been able to stay for a while. ”
King Starlight said, "Well, what if she doesn't beat you?"
Ding Qin said, "That's exactly what I'm going to say." I think the third princess and you have talked a lot. Since you can come today, you must agree with the third princess and let her rob me of my kiss in the way of competing with me. If she does win, well, I'll agree to stay while I'm not as strong as hers. But if I win,"
Ding Qin took a deep breath, "Then I hope that the king can fulfill his original promise and let me go to sea from Wangxingjiao." ”
King Xingyao pondered for a long time and said, "You really can't forget about the matter of stargazing for the cape to go to sea. To be honest, I don't let you look at the stars, first, I want to keep you as a talent, and second, there are considerations about the safety of the royal family. However, "
He let out a long sigh, "I still admire your perseverance. Well, I promise you this time. ”
Ding Qin was overjoyed and immediately saluted the king, "Thank you, king!"
King Xingyao also smiled. "You don't have to thank me yet. If you want to leave, then try to win the smoke. If you can't win him, then stay with me and be an honest son-in-law. ”
Ding Qin also had a smile between his eyebrows, "King, it is estimated that this time, I am decided." ”
King Starlight had already stood up, turned and said as he walked, "Don't be too confident in everything. Alright, you can get out of prison. Let's rest in the royal hotel first, and three days later, in the royal martial arts arena, it is the day of the smoke to grab relatives. ”
Watching King Xingyao leave, Ding Qin's joy in his heart couldn't help but overflow. He turned to He Yan, "It's finally time to wait for this day." ”
Unexpectedly, He Yan said coldly, "God knows if you win or lose." I'm still wondering what to do if you lose. ”
Ding Qin smiled lightly, "If you lose, there will be a time to leave." ”
He Yan directly threw a cup at Ding Qin's feet, "Walk your head! If you lose, what should I do? I am now your wife with a marriage contract, which is legal, and if you are robbed of someone else's husband, or the princess's husband, then what am I? The two daughters serve one husband? Or just divorce?"
When she shouted like this, Ding Qin was also stunned. But soon, Ding Qin's smile just now disappeared from his face, leaving only an undoubted confidence, "I won't lose, never." ”
He Yan didn't say anything more. Not long after, someone came over and took the two to the Royal Hotel. The environmental conditions there are obviously much better than here, but they have carefully divided Ding Qin and He Yan into two bedrooms to live in, although the two of them live in all of them are large suites.
For the next two days, nothing happened. Ding Qin seized the time to cultivate with no restriction on spiritual power, and now it seems that his spiritual power cultivation has greatly improved.
Early in the morning of the third day, a large number of people came to the Royal Hotel to greet Ding Qin. The whole scene is not like a martial arts competition, but it really feels like a kiss.
Ding Qin didn't say anything, but followed the group of people to the so-called royal martial arts arena. It was a purpose-built building, with three floors on the outside and only one hall inside, each with viewing seats on the side.
The lower hall is circular and separated by metal mesh, so that the viewing seats are naturally separated from the arena. The entire diameter of the circle can be more than 200 meters, and the site is all leveled with bluestone, without any other facilities. However, at the entrance, there are two large rows of weapon racks with a variety of more common weapons.
When Ding Qin entered, a sound of chirping sounded throughout the venue. Only then did he notice that the three floors of the stadium were already full.
In the middle of the second floor, there is a group of people who stand out. There were quite a few guards and servants there, and this was where King Starlight was.
Ding Qin walked straight to the center of the martial arts arena, but he didn't see Sikong Qingyan. However, some people were coaxing on the sidelines, and they seemed to be very dissatisfied with Ding Qin.
Soon, someone came in to host. The host said, "The marriage ceremony of the three princesses will start soon. Let me start by announcing the rules. According to the way of snatching relatives, if the third princess wins the smelting master Ding Qin, Ding Qin will unconditionally join the family and become a concubine; if the third princess can't win Ding Qin, Ding Qin will return to freedom. ”
As soon as the words fell, someone on the sidelines shouted directly, "What kind of thing is this Ding Qin, a blacksmith from the Xuantian Kingdom, who is also worthy of the third princess?" Why don't you let me try his strength first, if even I can't beat him, then don't make trouble for the Xingyao Kingdom!"
The one who spoke was also a teenager of the same age as Ding Qin. He is dressed in luxurious clothes, and it can be seen that his background is not ordinary.
The host said, "The rules are set by the third princess and the eldest prince. However, the third princess has just explained that if someone wants to challenge Ding Qin, they can come to fight. However, one is limited to three people, and the other is that the age difference should not be too large. If Ding Qin loses, she can cancel the ceremony. ”
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.
Because, the ceremony held by the royal family, there has never been a precedent for cancellation. If it is to be canceled, it will be a major event for the Star Glory Kingdom.
Obviously, the third princess thinks that no one here can win Ding Qin!
This is tantamount to a humiliation for these young people who admire Sikong Qingyan!
Those people, as soon as they saw Sikong Qingyan coming back, struggled to curry favor, tried their best to get close to communicate, and never got a little favor. Now I heard that the third princess was going to marry in a martial arts competition, which was even more surprising. In addition, the third princess's favorite person is actually a foreign blacksmith, and they are even more angry.
And now, what the third princess means is that they can't win against Ding Qin!
It was when he was young and vigorous, coupled with jealousy because of love, and all of a sudden, more than a dozen strong guys appeared on the sidelines.
They walked straight around Ding Qin and said, "Okay, then let me fight him!"
However, the experience of this host is clearly extremely rich. He smiled slightly, "Little brothers, the princess said, only three people." These three people will come out from among you, and who they are, you must either consult with each other or decide by force. But I would like to remind that the princess also has a limited amount of time. ”
The people looked at each other, and one of them quickly withdrew. There were four people left, and none of them wanted to budge.
The host was about to say something, but Ding Qin suddenly spoke.
"It doesn't hurt to have one more. Let's just let me allow one. ”
He decided this way, not because he wanted to show himself, but because he didn't want to stall for time.
Of course, he also knows the drawbacks of doing so.
Because, Sikong Qingyan let others fight with herself, she definitely has her own purpose!
