Chapter 057: Wutai Competition
"Sister-in-law, come here! I've got a lot of good food for you. Chu Zuizhi didn't understand Xiao Xiwei's mood at all, and waved his arms happily.
Xiao Xi was slightly helpless, but he had to walk towards Chu Zuizhi.
"Sister-in-law, you see that there are osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cakes, rose cakes, tangram dim sum, and flowers bloom richly...... This is all specially made by the master of my imperial dining room, but it is delicious. Chu Zuizhi opened the box on the table like a treasure, and brought out the plates of delicate snacks inside.
"Drunk, did you call this 'sister-in-law' a little early?" Chu Muzhi said and looked at Xiao Xiwei with a smile.
Xiao Xiwei's face was slightly hot, but Chu Zuizhi didn't seem to hear it, and pulled Xiao Xiwei to let her taste the snacks she brought.
"Look at the princess's appearance, people who don't know still think that this Wuwei camp is a restaurant in Beijing." Xiao Xiyang joked with a smile.
Chu Zuizhi raised his head and blinked his eyes and looked at Xiao Xiyang for a long time, before the corners of his mouth curved, and he pulled out a big smile and said, "Hey, you look so good!" As she spoke, she tilted her head and thought about it, and added, "Better looking than my seventh brother and eighth brother!" ”
This topic jumped too fast, and Xiao Xiyang couldn't react for a while.
Chu Muzhi's smiling face immediately collapsed.
She didn't react to what he told her for a long time just now, Xiao Xiyang said this casually, and she immediately replied, this treatment is inevitably too different.
Chu Xizhi put away the folding fan and knocked it on Chu Zuizhi's head, "Little girl, she turned her elbow out before she got married." ”
It doesn't matter if Chu Muzhi is not as good-looking as Xiao Xiyang, what is it to pull him up!
Chu Zuizhi rubbed his sore head, frowned and glared at Chu Xi, and said unconvinced, "It's better looking than you!" If you don't believe it, you don't believe it, ask your sister-in-law. As she spoke, she pulled Xiao Xiwei out.
Sensing the two hot gazes on his body, Xiao Xi smiled unnaturally, picked up a piece of snack from the table, and took a bite gently, "Well, this snack is very delicious, princess." ”
"Hahaha......" Chu Muzhi suddenly laughed out loud, and the depressed mood just now was swept away.
Chu Xizhi's face sank, and he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Xiyang from head to toe, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He has always hated people mentioning his appearance in front of him, but Wei'er's words clearly mean that his appearance is not as good as Xiao Xiyang.
At this time, the big drum on the martial platform suddenly sounded.
"Yikes! The competition is about to begin. Chu Zuizhi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly grabbed Xiao Xiwei's hand and sat back on the chair, throwing the topic just now out of the clouds.
Xiao Xi smiled and shook his head, this ninth princess is really a strange person.
The sound of drums sounded from all directions, and after a long time, the drums stopped, and at this time, General Zhou of the Weiwu Battalion strode onto the competition platform, and he shouted to the people below, "Please take the students who participated in the martial arts test this time to come to the stage and draw lots!" ”
Xiao Xiyang got up and snorted at Chu Xizhi, "Zimu, are you interested in having one?" ”
Chu Xizhi opened the folding fan with a 'snap', and the corners of his eyebrows raised, "I'm not interested." ”
"I'm not interested, you're still running to join in the fun?" Xiao Xiyang rolled his eyes, "Aren't you afraid of losing to me and losing face in front of my sister!" ”
Xiao Xiwei was originally holding a tea bowl and preparing to drink tea, when she heard Xiao Xiyang's words, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She admitted that her brother's martial arts were taught by her grandfather, but she didn't necessarily have a chance of winning against Shang Chu. Because, she clearly remembered that winter hunting, he was besieged by four snow wolves, and he still did not change his face and cut the four snow wolves under the sword, and even the corners of his clothes did not wrinkle a point. It is precisely because of this that after Chu Yanzhi ascended the throne, he secretly sent twelve first-class masters to assassinate him, but he was still able to retreat. Such martial arts can really be said to be unfathomable. Therefore, my brother's words can only be said to be self-inflicted.
Seeing Xiao Xiwei's expression, Chu Xizhi's eyebrows wrinkled again.
It's just about his appearance, why does she think that he can't match Xiao Xiyang in terms of martial arts? Could it be that in her heart, he can't be as good as her brother!
Catching a glimpse of Chu Xizhi's expression, Xiao Xiyang was overjoyed.
It seems that there is a drama this time.
He always wanted to have a good fight with Chu Xizhi, but he always pushed back. The more he didn't want to do anything with him, the more his heart itched.
Chu Muyi saw this situation, and his heart was also faintly excited, "Speaking of which, I have never seen you show your martial arts brother, but Xiyang, it is really hidden!" ”
"I originally thought that you were my future brother-in-law and wanted to give you some face, but at the moment, it seems that you don't need it. Think about it, what kind of face does a person who can be a city wall envoy want! Chu Xizhi shook his folding fan and glanced at Xiao Xiyang with a smile, then ignored his gaze and walked leisurely towards the competition platform.
Chu Muzhi looked at Xiao Xiyang's red and white face, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
It turns out that the Seven Emperor Brothers also have such a poisonous side!
Seeing that Chu Xizhi also came to the stage, General Zhou, who was the main examiner, was taken aback, "Your Highness the Seventh, why do you want to participate too?" ”
Although there are many noble sons and daughters who come to participate in the martial arts test held in the Wuwei Camp every year, and there are often princes who come to see the excitement, no prince has ever come to the stage to officially compete in martial arts.
"What, General Zhou thinks I'm not qualified enough?" Chu Xizhi said with a smile.
"Nope. The minister didn't dare. General Zhou waved his hand hurriedly.
Chu Xizhi hooked his lips, casually drew a lot from the bamboo tube next to him, and then walked to the waiting seat on the side and sat down.
"It's rare that the seventh brother is in a good mood to join in this fun, fourth brother, I remember that your martial arts are not bad, why don't you go up and have fun too?" A man in a bright yellow brocade robe in the shed opposite suddenly raised his voice, but it was the current crown prince Chu Jingzhi.
"Since the imperial brother has something to say, the younger brother is disrespectful." I saw that the fourth prince Chu Yanzhi got up and hugged his fists towards Chu Jingzhi, and then also walked onto the competition platform.
"Eighth brother, do you want to come up and try it too?" The prince said loudly to Chu Muzhi across the competition platform.
Chu Muzhi got up and reported the fist, and said with a smile, "Brother Huang, you let me fight cockfights, it's okay to shake the dice, do you compete...... I won't disgrace our royal family. ”
He has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and he can sit here well because he has been soaked in a medicine jar all year round. The prince knew this and proposed to let him come to power, obviously wanting to embarrass him.
"Then don't force the eighth brother." The prince smiled unexpectedly, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.
Chu Muzhi smiled and sat down nonchalantly.
At this moment, there were two princes who wanted to join the competition, and the field was a little boiling, some were worried, and some were excited.
Seeing Chu Yan on stage, Xiao Xile's eyes shone brightly.
'Dang' gong sounded, and General Zhou said loudly on the stage, "In the first scene, Xiao Xiyang of the Loyal and Brave Mansion faced Zheng Lin of the Zhengguo Mansion. ”
Xiao Xiyang took the lead in getting on the competition platform, casually took a spear from the weapon rack next to him and carried it in his hand, and then took a few steps forward satisfied. On the other side, Zheng Lin chose double knives. After the two saluted with their hands, they each took three steps back, and when General Zhou gave an order, they immediately rushed to the other party to beckon.
Xiao Xiwei didn't understand these at all, she just felt that you were going back and forth on the stage, and the fight was very fierce. Her brother Xiao Xiyang's spear was so powerful that Zheng Lin was forced to retreat again and again, and Zheng Lin's double knives were already short, and he was forced by the spear to be even more degraded. Xiao Xiwei only watched it for a while, and then knew that his brother would win this competition, so he leisurely picked up the tea on the desk and took a sip, but he didn't want to catch a glimpse of Chu Zuizhi on the side staring at the stage with all his attention, his hands were also tightly clenched into fists, his eyes didn't blink, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle a few times.
Suddenly, I only heard the sound of gongs and drums on the stage.
Before Xiao Xiwei came back to his senses, he saw that Chu Zuizhi had jumped up, "Great, Brother Xiao won!" Brother Xiao wins! ”
Xiao Xi turned his head slightly to look, and saw his brother standing proudly on the hand, and the spear he held in his right hand was pointed directly at Deng Lin's throat.
"Drunk, look at you like this, it looks like you are the one who wins on the stage." Chu Muzhi looked at Chu Drunken Dao meaningfully.
Listening to Chu Muzhi's words, Xiao Xi looked at Chu Zuizhi unconsciously. But seeing Chu Zuizhi turn his face and look at Chu Muzhi calmly, "Of course, Brother Xiao is the brother of his sister-in-law!" ”
"In the first game, Xiao Xiyang won the loyal and brave Houfu!" At this time, the voice of General Taizhou rang out.
"Second sister, my brother won." Xiao Xichun, who had been silent, couldn't help but show a little excitement and joy on his face when he saw Xiao Xiyang win.
Xiao Xile on the side glanced at Xiao Xichun contemptuously, turned his head and pretended not to see it.
After a few more competitions, there were no Chu Xizhi and Xiao Xiyang, so Xiao Xiwei and Chu Zuizhi were a little lacking in interest, and the reason why Chu Zuizhi was not interested was because she was busy eliminating the dim sum she brought.
Xiao Xile watched Chu Drunk and devoured the clouds for a while, and couldn't help but have a trace of contempt in his eyes.
Look at her like this, how can she have half the appearance of a princess.
'Hiccup' Chu Zuizhi touched his round belly and felt full.
"Princess, take a sip of tea." Xiao Xi smiled and poured her a cup of tea.
Chu Zuizhi smiled and took a sip, and then 'chirp, chirp', and said with some regret, "If only there was wine!" ”
As he was talking, the gongs and drums on the stage sounded again.
"The seventh scene, the four princes against the seven princes."
"Yikes! It's finally time for the Seventh Brother. Chu Zuizhi happily looked towards the competition platform.
Xiao Xile couldn't help but look at the stage excitedly at this moment.
Chu Yan's crescent-colored brocade robe lined his whole person was as warm as jade, even if he held a long sword, he didn't have the natural temperament around him at all. On the other hand, Chu Xizhi was dressed in a light blue robe, and a red plum was embroidered on the robe, which added three points to his already gorgeous appearance, but this demon had a bit of cynicism in it, and the girls below were beating wildly.
"Don't the Seven Emperor Brothers use weapons?" Chu Yanzhi looked at Chu Xizhi, and the corners of his lips hooked up a faint smile.
She rejected herself for his sake. Not only that, but she even deceived the jade pendant from him and transferred the jade pendant to Xiao Xile.
His true heart was trampled under her feet like this.
And all this is because of the person in front of him.
Chu Xizhi's narrow eyes swept Chu Yan's eyes with a smile, and his good-looking thin lips spit out two words coldly, "No need!" ”
Need not! In just two words, his contempt for him was fully revealed.
The eyes that had always been warm suddenly flashed with a hint of murderous aura.
"That being the case! That's going to offend! As soon as Chu Yanzhi's words fell, the edge of the long sword was fully revealed, and it stabbed towards Chu Xizhi quickly. His figure was as fast as lightning, and when he saw that the tip of the sword was about to pierce Chu Xizhi's chest, suddenly, the figure in front of him flickered, and Chu Xizhi in front of him suddenly moved behind him with his sword body. Chu Yanzhi gasped, and brushed several swords with his backhand, every time he was offensive and undefensive, and the offensive was fierce, just to cut the person in front of him under the sword.
At the beginning, Chu Xizhi still had a little contempt for Chu Yanzhi's moves, but after a few moves, his moves were sharp, all of which were offensive and undefinite, which made him have to lift his spirit. The two of them went back and forth on the stage, fighting very fiercely, and several times, the tip of Chu Yanzhi's sword crossed the top of Chu Xiyang's head, and Xiao Xiwei under him broke out in a cold sweat.
"I didn't expect the Four Emperor Brothers to be really hidden!" Chu Muzhi looked at the two people on the stage and spit out coldly.
As soon as his words fell, suddenly, Chu Yanzhi flew up, and the long sword swept towards Chu Xizhi fiercely. He used ten layers of ten skills for this sword, Chu Xizhi's eyes sank, he raised his hand, and the folding fan in his hand took off his hand and shot towards Chu Yanzhi's wrist. Chu Yan's hand hurt, and the sword flew out of his hand, but it flew straight towards Xiao Xi under the stage.
