Chapter 42: Birthday Celebrations
The venue of the event was set at the large-scale martial arts arena in the middle of the Sword Sect, and Mu Fan Imperial Sword flew outside, and then walked into the arena indifferently.
The new junior brothers and sisters are full of respect, and the older ones are much calmer.
Mu Fan doesn't have to deliberately show anything, he just needs to be himself, and these people will naturally know that what they like is just him in other people's mouths.
Half an hour later, everyone came and the event began.
The whole activity was not interesting, the senior brothers fed the junior brothers, and from time to time the junior brothers and sisters set their eyes on Mu Fan.
Finally, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl fought to the center of the ring, her hand in her sleeve clenched into a fist, and she plucked up her courage and said, "Senior Brother Yan, I want to ask you for advice, is it okay?" ”
The girl's voice trembled a little, and Mu Fan saw the little star in the girl's eyes, and smiled helplessly: "Of course you can." ”
He took the field with his sword and said, "Are you ready?" ”
"Ah...... Well! The girl's reaction was a little sluggish.
Since he is pointing at his junior brothers and sisters, Mu Fan must slow down his attack speed and feed the girl moves, so he can't slash others with one sword.
He lowered his strength and fought the girl.
The girl's sword was soft and had no strength at all. Where is the fight, it is simply a close look at the "Yan Qing" in the "legend".
Seeing that he would never be able to tell the winner or loser if he continued like this, and it had no practical effect, Mu Fan simply made a quick sword, the tip of the sword was against the girl's neck, and said, "Accept it." ”
The girl stood on the spot, still looking at him stupidly.
Mu Fan smiled bitterly in his heart, put away his sword, and went down. He gave up the idea of letting others recognize him before, fifteen or sixteen years old, and some people couldn't tell right from wrong. When they grow up for a few years, they will naturally not have the current problems.
As soon as the girl began, she immediately attracted many girls to follow suit. Next, there were girls who wanted to ask Mu Fan for guidance, and after they came on the field, they kept staging repeated plots.
Mu Fan gradually got bored, he wanted to get out early and go to the Luoyu Song and Dance Workshop.
Just thinking about finding an excuse, I heard someone shouting at the door of the martial arts arena: "Brother Yan Qing, can you come out and say a few words." ”
Mu Fan wished that someone would tell him to go out, and immediately Edgeworth flew off the field.
There was a man standing outside the field, about thirty or forty years old, and he couldn't see the depth of his strength.
Mu Fan landed, put away his flying sword, and asked, "Are you?" ”
The man did not directly tell Mu Fan his identity, but said, "I'm just an errand in charge of passing the word, and he asked me to tell you that he is your old friend." ”
Mu Fan shook his head and said, "There is too little information, I can't guess." ”
"Wolves and monkeys." The man smiled: "He said that if you hear this, you will definitely be able to guess who he is." ”
Mu Fan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It turns out that His Highness has come down, take me to see him quickly." ”
He laughed on the surface, but in his heart he beat a drum and said secretly: "Why is Zhao Jianyan here?" He can't be his third prince, what is he doing in Sword Sect? ”
Every time he mentioned "wolves and monkeys", Mu Fan couldn't be happy. He remembered Zhao Jianyan's conceited appearance clearly, and it was difficult for him to take on a big responsibility.
When he first entered the Sword Sect, Zhao Jianyan wanted to investigate Lin Sang'er's identity, but Mu Fan never let go. The two later faced each other and made a "wolf and monkey" again.
Zhao Jianyan is a prince, it is inevitable to be conceited, and the cultivation of the emperor's family makes him have innate self-confidence.
At first, Mu Fan didn't hate him, but Zhao Jianyan wanted to attack Lin Sang'er, so the two of them tore their faces and made a lot of trouble.
While Zhao Jianyan is conceited, he is also quite generous. The Sword Sect cleared the mole, Mu Fan begged him to cooperate, and the two sides reconciled, and played double reeds together, which deceived many people.
Regardless of whether the personal relationship is good or bad, Mu Fan and Zhao Jianyan can never become friends. Zhao Jianyan regarded him as a minister, and he regarded Zhao Jianyan as an object that could be used.
In the end, the Mu family and the Zhao royal family had only one way to go, and the relationship between Mu Fan and Zhao Jianyan went to the step of mutual use at most.
The man took Mu Fan out of the Sword Sect and went to the "Heavenly Guest" at the foot of the mountain.
Mu Fan adjusted his state along the way and thought of countermeasures.
Zhao Chen was not in good health before he succeeded to the throne, he loved beauties and calligraphy and painting, and there were not many people who were optimistic about him.
Zhao Jianyan is a concubine and has no status, he has always wanted to establish his own team and sit in his father's position. The masters around him are responsible for protecting his safety, but they will not participate in the succession, so he tries his best to recruit henchmen.
But the concubine is the concubine, and the innate things are difficult to change.
Those old foxes in the court are all lords who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, and before Zhao Jianyan proves his strength, they won't express their position, let alone stand in line so early.
Mu Fan expected that Zhao Jianyan was eager to build a team, so he took advantage of the situation and became one of Zhao Jianyan's henchmen.
In the past year and a half, Mu Fan has proved his ability and potential, which has made Zhao Jianyan firm in his determination to recruit him......
The business of Tiankelai is very good, and the people who come and go talk and laugh and laugh, and they are not affected by the situation and the war in the slightest.
The man took Mu Fan to the top, and the feeling of stepping on the clouds was not new to the two.
Mu Fan looked up and saw that the name of the private room was "Heavenly Court". Zhao Jianyan really trusted him and never hid his ambitions in front of him.
The man stood aside and did not enter the door.
Mu Fan pushed the door in, and first said, "Your Highness, don't come unharmed." ”
Zhao Jianyan said: "Come in quickly, see that I have prepared a table full of wine and food for you." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Take your seats."
Mu Fan wanted to take a seat, but Zhao Jianyan didn't sit down, it was too inappropriate for him to sit down.
Zhao Jianyan pretended to be a friend, Mu Fan had to believe it, and the two didn't want to work together.
After Zhao Jianyan took his seat, Mu Fan sat down.
"Why do you want to see each other like this, it's just the two of us here, we ignore those red tape, wouldn't it be nice to be called friends?"
Mu Fan said: "His Royal Highness is thirsty for talent, how can I Yan Qing be virtuous, and it is really a blessing for Yan Qing to enter the eyes of His Royal Highness!" ”
Zhao Jianyan waved his hand, "You can call it whatever you want, come, drink." ”
After three glasses of wine for the two, Mu Fan took the initiative to provoke and said: "I don't know what His Highness is doing here, if Yan Qing can help, he will definitely do his best." ”
Although he knew that Zhao Jianyan had something to ask him, he had to bring it up first, and it would be too ignorant to let His Highness take the initiative to bring it up.
Zhao Jianyan raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and sighed: "The concubine wants to celebrate her birthday." ”
Mu Fan said: "Which concubine?" ”
Zhao Jianyan put the wine glass on the table and said, "The mother of Zhao Xuan, the king of Fengyang!" ”
"You're going?"
"It's not that I'm going, it's that I can't help it. None of my siblings were going, and then it fell to me. Zhao Jianyan raised his glass, "Now there are rumors everywhere in the imperial court that Uncle Huang is going to rebel, and I will ...... go."
The other princes and mothers are all queen concubines or something, and their backgrounds are all civil and military generals. Only his mother was a lowly palace maid, and the danger naturally fell on his head.
Mu Fan pondered for a moment and said, "Do you have to go?" ”
"I have to go, my father has already ordered it."
Mu Fan said: "Since you have to go, then take advantage of this opportunity." ”
