Chapter 837 Hold a grudge

The few remaining warriors beside Tang Xuan, no one dared to go down to compete with Shangguan Xiu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info now they can also see that Shangguan Xiu's cultivation is so high that they are far from being able to match it, and if they try it again, they will not only bring humiliation on themselves, but also lose their lives.

Song Sheng said slowly and methodically: "It's just a martial arts competition, Lord Shangguan's shot is inevitably too vicious, right?"

As soon as his voice fell, Qiu Yi said: "Lord Song's words are wrong, before the martial arts competition, His Royal Highness Guogong has repeatedly stated that martial arts are used to kill, not to perform, for people to enjoy. His Highness has already made it very clear, but they still have to compete with His Highness, and now they are to blame for dying in the competition, so how can they blame His Highness?"

Qiu Yi's words made everyone present nod their heads again and again. He was right, Shangguan Xiu did have repeated warnings just now, martial arts are used to kill people, even if there are martial arts competitions, it is inevitable that there will be deaths and injuries, and now it is ridiculous to blame Shangguan Xiu for being too ruthless.

Song Sheng's face was gloomy and he didn't speak again, and suddenly, he felt a burning gaze fall on him, and he subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see Tang Xuan glaring at him viciously with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

The reason why Tang Xuan brought a group of warriors into the palace and found trouble with Shangguanxiu was inseparable from Song Sheng's fanning of the flames by his side.

Song Sheng did not blow the wind in Tang Xuan's ears, Shangguan Xiu was in vain, and he was defeated, his exploits were all brought down by his generals and officials, he was just a hillbilly from the village, and he didn't have much ability, as for his spiritual martial arts, it was deliberately exaggerated, in fact, it was only mediocre, if he wasn't the big backer of His Majesty, he would not have such a high prestige in the Wind Country. Bai Du Yixia performed a new chapter of the Song Hall to cut the mouth of the L section

Regarding Song Sheng's statement, Tang Xuan believed that it was true, and took advantage of this feast to plan to give Shangguan Xiu a dismount, so that he would make a big ugly appearance in front of His Majesty and the ministers.

As a result, Shangguan Xiu shined, but the one who really made a fool of himself and was laughed at by everyone became himself.

Fighting against two spiritual cultivators, Shangguan Xiu didn't even cover up the spirit armor, and killed two people in a row with only one chopstick and one fish bone, which is called Lingwu Pingping? In front of such a Shangguan Xiu, his performance from beginning to end was like a clown jumping off the beam.

Tang Xuan was originally a scheming person who was full of sour and rotten gas, but this time he was calculated by Song Sheng, causing him to be so ugly, how could he not hold a grudge? The roots of his teeth were itching, and he glared at Song Sheng's eyes and was about to erupt with fire.

Song Sheng only glanced at him, then took his gaze back and took a sip of wine quietly. To him, Tang Xuan was just an insignificant prince, and he was not a threat at all.

Seeing his appearance that he didn't care about himself, Tang Xuan was even more angry in his heart, and he couldn't wait to rush up and tear Song Sheng apart.

But he still had some sanity after all, and he didn't do that. He turned to Shangguan Xiu and said, "His Royal Highness Guogong's spiritual martial arts are unfathomable, this king admires it, and the next competition is not necessary." ”

As he spoke, he walked back to his dining table, picked up the wine glass, raised it to Shangguanxiu, and said: "Tonight, this king has offended a lot, this cup is regarded as the king's apology to His Royal Highness Guogong!" After speaking, he raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.

Shangguan Xiu had never been in contact with Tang Xuan at all, and his impression of him was not good or bad, but his pressing step by step just now aroused his murderous intent. At this time, seeing that Tang Xuan had softened, he didn't want to be aggressive anymore, it seemed that he was too stingy.

He put down the small plate under his hand, picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "The prince is polite, this time I failed to stop my hand, and killed two of the prince's subordinates by mistake, and I hope the prince will not blame!"

"Haha!" Tang Xuan looked up and smiled, and said: "Dying in the martial arts arena, I only blame them for not learning well, and I can't blame others." He poured a glass of wine again and said to Shangguan Xiu: "This king respects His Royal Highness a glass!

"!" he both drank the wine from their glasses and laughed at each other.

While the two of them were drinking, a Praetorian Guard stepped forward and removed the two corpses from the banquet hall.

No one glanced at the two corpses, and no one cried out for the two of them, and for the magnates present, the lives of the two samurai were as low as dogs.

As Shangguan Xiu and Tang Xuan shook hands and made peace, chatting and laughing, the atmosphere at the banquet soon returned to its original liveliness.

After this competition, people's attitude towards Shangguan Xiu not only became more flattering on the surface, but also a little more admiration and awe in their hearts.

Tang Ling smiled with satisfaction, quite proud and honored. Shangguan Xiu is her chosen husband, and the more dazzling he becomes, the brighter her face will be. Tang Xuan pulled Shangguan Xiu and drank three cups in a row before it was over, and when he returned to his seat, Tang Ling leaned over to him, and said with a smile: "My Uncle Pingwang has a strange temperament, he is very arrogant on weekdays, and his eyes are empty, even if he is to me, he has not given three glasses in a row, it seems that Ah Xiu has convinced him today!"

Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "The prince is not a wicked person, but he is too simple and easy to be manipulated by others. ”

Whoever is using Tang Xuan, Tang Ling can naturally see that if the eyes can kill, Tang Xuan's gaze just now doesn't know how many holes have been poked into Song Sheng's body.

Uncle Wang is not involved in court politics, it is a very wise choice, with his temperament, if he enters the court, he will only become a pawn used by others. Tang Ling sighed secretly.

At this time, a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in a gorgeous little dress, like a ceramic doll, walked over, she held a small wine glass, timidly came to Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling, and said in a milky voice: "Zhu'er respects Your Majesty, Your Highness!"

Seeing her, Tang Ling smiled, took the wine glass in her hand, put it aside, and said, "What kind of wine do children drink!" Seeing Shangguan Xiu looking at the little person in front of her curiously, she explained: "Zhu'er is the eldest daughter of Uncle Pingwang, named Tang Mingzhu. ”

She pulled the little girl to her and asked with a smile, "Tell me about the imperial sister, who asked you to toast?"

"Yes...... It was her mother who asked Zhu'er to come......" When the little girl spoke, she subconsciously turned her head to look, Shangguan Xiu followed her line of sight and saw a beautiful young woman sitting next to Tang Xuan, it was Princess Ping.

Tang Ling's gaze gradually became deeper. Just now, King Ping took the initiative to find trouble with Ah Xiu, and his anger was already obvious, Princess Ping now asked Zhu'er to toast, aren't you afraid that she will be angry with Zhu'er? Perhaps, if she really angers Zhu'er, it is exactly what Princess Ping wants!

Tang Mingzhu was not born to the princess, but was born after Tang Ming had an affair with the maid of the palace when he was young, because his mother's identity was too humble and lowly, after Tang Ming and the princess got married, Tang Mingzhu passed to the princess's knees.

Nominally, Tang Mingzhu is the eldest daughter of Ping Wangfu, but in fact, her identity in the palace is very embarrassing, since the princess gave birth to her eldest son Tang Fei, she regards Tang Mingzhu as a thorn in the flesh.

Tang Ling couldn't be more clear about the intrigues of the women in the back house, but Shangguan Xiu didn't know anything, he just felt that it was a little strange for Princess Ping to let a small county lord come to toast, but he couldn't say what was weird.

Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "Zhu'er is still young, so it is not suitable to drink, and neither Your Majesty nor I can drink this cup of wine." ”

The little girl was disappointed when she heard this, lowered her head, choked up and said, "If Your Majesty and Your Highness don't drink Zhu'er's toast, your mother will definitely blame Zhu'er!"

Her pitiful little appearance will feel distressed by anyone who sees it.

Shangguan Xiu felt that the reason why the princess asked Tang Mingzhu to come to toast was to resolve the unhappiness between herself and Tang Ming, and this was completely redundant.

He pondered for a moment, took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist, put it in Tang Mingzhu's little hand, and said: "After I go back, tell your mother that this jade pendant was given by me, and your mother will naturally not blame you anymore." ”

He sent out a piece of spiritual jade that he carried closely, which was equivalent to showing that he no longer hated Tang Ming, and Tang Mingzhu's purpose of coming to toast was achieved.

The little girl looked at the jade pendant in her hand, the whole body was white, the texture was delicate, warm as mutton fat, the most peculiar thing is that in the hand, people do not feel cold, but will feel warm, as if there is a warm current flowing from the jade pendant into their body.

It's not jade, it's the best spirit stone! The little girl's eyes showed a hint of surprise, she timidly handed the jade pendant back to Shangguan Xiu, and said, "Your ...... His Royal Highness's gift is too valuable, and Zhu'er doesn't dare to accept it......"

Shangguan Xiu smiled, this little girl is quite interesting, children from the palace are really different from children from ordinary families.

Tang Ling said with a smile on the side: "Since it was the Duke of the Kingdom who sent you, Zhu'er can accept it with confidence." ”

"Your Majesty Xie, Your Highness Xie!" Tang Mingzhu showed surprise on his face, and saluted Tang Ling and Shangguan Xiufu respectively, and then held the jade pendant and went back happily.

Back to her own seat, she handed the spirit jade that Shangguan Xiu gave her to the princess, the princess heard that it was Shangguan Xiu who gave her, her face was surprised, and she subconsciously looked at Tang Ling and Shangguan Xiu, and saw that the two of them were talking with a smile, the princess frowned secretly, she thought that His Majesty would hate the prince for finding trouble with the prince, and let Tang Mingzhu go over to toast, which was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire and would provoke His Majesty's anger, but she didn't expect that Your Majesty was not only not to blame, but Guogong also sent her a valuable and high-grade spirit stone.

"Since it was given to you by the Duke of the Kingdom, you can accept it!" The princess quietly returned the jade pendant to Tang Mingzhu. Even if she likes it again, but this is a gift from the Guogong, she doesn't dare to come over and take it for herself.

Tang Ling glanced at Tang Xuan's side and said in a low voice, "Zhu'er is not simple. ”

Shangguan Xiu nodded sympathetically and said, "It's really not simple!"

It's just that what the two of them said is not simple, and it is not on the same level at all. Shangguan Xiu said that Tang Mingzhu was not simple, because she was only a little girl, but when she saw valuable things, there was no greed in her eyes, and some were just clear.

Tang Ling said that she was not simple, she felt that with Tang Mingzhu's embarrassing identity, she could live peacefully in the palace until now, it was incredible, I don't know how many open guns and arrows she had dodged, on the surface, she was just a child, but she was probably more mature and sensitive than an adult in her heart.
