Chapter 18: The Courage Test

What can I do???

This question sounds like a huge pit, Prince Yatu is not stupid, but he knows that he has no choice, if he retreats here today, then it is very likely that the national teacher will have another master among his other brothers, he can't take such a risk.

There was a lot of planning and fighting in his heart, but he was calm and calm on his face.

"Yatu's heart for the princess can be seen by the sun and the moon, and it will not change in this life!"

Oops, the man's mouth is a deceitful ghost, Xia Qingyi can see the hesitation he just now, but at this moment, he pretends to be affectionate, and he is really indistinguishable

"What about you, Duan Shilang, what can you do for the princess!?" Xia Qingyi turned around and repeated the same question to Duan Yixuan.

"Married as husband and wife, there is no doubt about love."

It's her mistake, she's wrong, she did this bowl of dog food. Anyway, it's just a process.

"Since the two Lang Jun are so persistent, then let's make a bet, the person my Nanchu Duke wants to marry must be a hero of the world and can not be afraid of life and death for her, can both of them do it?"

She raised an eerie smile and looked at the two of them a little defiantly, but did not wait for them to answer. He shouted to his subordinates.

"When someone comes to put paper and ink, there is no basis for what he says, and he uses words as evidence."

Emperor Nanchu and Shangguan Xuanmi couldn't figure out her path for a while, and observed the development of the situation in a daze, but everyone opened their mouths to stop it, and being able to calm down is the most basic skill of the superior.

"Duan Shangshu, this palace will read it, and you will write it!"

Lord Shangshu, whose name was suddenly read, had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, and now let him write, even if he wrote in blood, he had no hesitation. It's just that I'm old, and after kneeling for a long time, my body can't bear it, and it takes a lot of effort to even stand up, and I tremble and stagger to the prepared table.

Xia Qingyi didn't urge, and let him grind and grind and hold the pen well.

"Beiliang Shangguan Yatu and Duan Yixuan have an open competition today to marry the princess of Nanchu, regardless of life and death, make this an appointment!"

Writing the last few words, Lao Shangshu's tears rolled in his eyes, his son, do you really want to fold here today, the sky is going to kill his Duan family!

"Come on, the two Lang Jun sign your name, and we will start the competition!" Xia Qingyi made a gesture of invitation, and moved to the side to make room for the signing.

"By the way, Lang Jun, who dares to say that he doesn't dare to be a man with blank teeth, our princess can't look down on it, when the palace leaves, she will never force it."

Xia Qingyi said lightly, and all the eyes in the hall were focused on the two of them. There are not a few mentality of watching hilarious jokes.

Duan Yixuan is a true temperament, he didn't even think about it, and walked up without hesitation when Xia Qingyi let go of the gap.

Prince Yatu was a little hesitant, but he seemed to understand that he couldn't escape this time, he held the last glimmer of hope and glanced in the direction of Shangguan Xuanmi, but the other party ignored him completely. He could only grit his teeth and sign with a wave of his hand.

Satisfied, she picked up the two life and death certificates, Xia Qingyi smiled and played chords, lifted them into the air and blew them for a long time, and waited until the handwriting was completely dry before carefully folding them and putting them in her arms. Then speak unhurriedly.

"Okay, let's talk about the content of the competition, it's actually very easy."

She shook a pair of beautiful hands, and instantly the sound of bells sounded in the air, which was very good.

"Hongu will use the beast repellent technique to control the brown bear in the cage to attack you, and it will not end until the bear is killed, or the two of them shout to stop. However, the person who shouts to stop and leave on his own is considered to have given up. If the first Lang Jun beats the bear to death, then the second one loses the competition. Similarly, if the first Langjun unfortunately dies or leaves halfway, the second Langjun automatically wins. Let's choose, courage and wisdom coexist, which Lang Jun will go first? ”

This kind of rule seems fair, but it can't be thought through. Although the person who plays first takes the lead, the risk is much greater than that of the person who plays later. Xia Qingyi thought that the envoy of Beiliang would definitely raise objections, but the strange thing was that this old man was holding a cup from beginning to end, looking drunk with wine, Leng had never glanced at Prince Yatu, but his eyes would drift to the direction of Chu Leyan from time to time, and Prince Yatu saw that Shangguan Xuanmi didn't care about his life or death at all. Helplessly, he hung his head and closed his eyes in contemplation.

He can't lose, if he loses the opportunity to marry the Seventh Princess, he may miss the throne.

Duan Yixuan's side was the opposite, Duan Shangshu pulled his son's sleeve hard to prevent him from going up first, and although he couldn't hear what the father and son were talking about from Xia Qingyi's corner, it was obvious that the lips that were quickly turning up and down implied that Lao Shangshu was analyzing the situation and pros and cons for his own son, and when it came to the excitement, Lao Shangshu threw himself into his son's arms, and his shoulders trembled.

Is this a classic drama of crying, making trouble and hanging three!?

Xia Qingyi felt that she should help him again, so she quietly approached Duan Shangshu and handed over a dagger with lightning speed. Lao Shangshu was worried that he couldn't find a threat prop, so he raised his head in surprise and searched for the person with his eyes, regardless of the teary-eyed old face.

When he saw the veiled eldest princess facing him and wiping her neck with her hand, she felt as if she was greatly encouraged to strengthen her belief that she must hold her son off and prevent him from being the first to play.

So there was no suspense, Shangguan Yatu stubbornly chose to challenge first.

"Prince Atul, you can choose to give up this competition, you only have one life. But if the person is gone, everything will come to naught, as the old saying goes, leaving the green mountains in the green mountains is not afraid of no firewood. ”

What is this woman hinting at!? This kind of behavior is comparable to shaking the morale of the army before the war! Chu Leyan couldn't help but smile while listening.

Pretending to shake the bell, he slowly approached the cage, but when he was still a foot away from the brown bear, he quietly pierced his fingertips and fused the blood with the Gu worm wrapped in the Silver Star Grass, and silently recited in his mouth: The Ring of the Five Stars, the Gu Spirit, the life is pampered, and the heart is true!

After the red worm flew to the top of the brown bear's head, it instantly exploded into a little golden light from the eyes, nose and mouth, and the brown bear controlled by the Gu worm had a dilated look in his eyes, and he was stunned for a long time, and he actually opened the cage lock and walked out.

Prince Yatu was horrified, and instinctively fled in all directions in front of the absolute behemoth.

Xia Qingyi was not in a hurry, like teasing a mouse, every time he clicked to the end, letting the claws insert into his back or shoulder blades, and repeated this several times, Shangguan Yatu's body was scarred, the key was that the mental defense line had collapsed, but the brown bear chased after him like tirelessly.

Finally blocked in a corner, Shangguan Yatu was so panting that he couldn't finish his words, his chest, arms, thighs, and calves were covered with blood, but there were no fatal wounds.

Emperor Nanchu told her that people can't be killed, this is the bottom line. He doesn't care if he is injured or disabled, anyway, the life and death certificates are signed. But it's hard to guarantee that Bei Liang won't come to the door.

Xia Qingyi thinks about it, even if she can give birth again, there will be more princes. There is a son who died at a banquet in another country, how this shame is perfunctory. When it comes to face, it's a big problem. So she has a good grasp of the size.

However, after playing for a long time, I am really a little tired. After all, this was the first time Xia Qingyi had tried to control Gu worms for so long. Because the art of mind control requires concentration of the mind, it is very depleting of mental power. But this is also the basic skill of a Gu magician, it was mentioned in the master's ancient books that sometimes when the strength of the two sides is equal, the more powerful the Gu magician who can concentrate his consciousness for a longer time.

Xia Qingyi was having a lot of fun on the field, but there were two people on the table who kept evaluating Xia Qingyi's comprehensive combat strength. The Gu Warlock's familiarity and mastery of the Gu Technique, the time to perform the Gu Technique, the weakness of the Gu Technique, etc., are all necessary conditions to measure the ability and level of a Gu Magician, which is also the reason why Shangguan Xuanmi knew from the beginning that this was an unfair competition, but did not stop it.

"Ahh Shangguan Yatu let out a terrible scream, he really couldn't run, he felt that the bones in his body were falling apart, Xiao is he had received rigorous physical training since he was a child, and he had been chased by wolves on the grassland, and he didn't have the despair he had now. This woman is not human, she is a devil, but even so, his pride as a prince has allowed him to support him until now.

Xia Qingyi controlled the brown bear to squeeze Shangguan Yatu's throat with only one bear paw and lifted him high into the air, even if he was about to suffocate, Shangguan Yatu still had no intention of shouting to stop. It seemed that he was sure that he would not dare to kill him.

What is the way to scare him, Xia Qingyi suddenly laughed a little crazy.

"The prince's eyes are very smart, it just so happens that this palace needs a pair of human eyes for studying a new Gu technique recently, why don't Your Highness give you this pair of eyes!"

As he spoke, he waved his other paw and attacked Shangguan Yatu's front door!

"Don't, I'll give up!" Shangguan Yatu shouted out with all his strength, and then he only felt that his body was loose, and the person had been thrown out by the brown bear, slammed into the wall, and bounced to the ground, like a dilapidated doll.

"It's a pity that the prince's love is not as invincible as you say."

Xia Qingyi said it lightly, although she was veiled, she could hear the smile.

"You are the devil incarnate!" Shangguan Yatu only felt a fishy sweetness welling up in his throat, and then spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

"Congratulations to the princess!" When everyone thought that the envoy of Beiliang would be angry with Nanchu because of the injury of the prince of his country, Shangguan Xuanmi smiled and sent blessings as if nothing had happened. And that smile was sincere and pure, and there was no trace of evil.

Chu Leyan was a little embarrassed by this sudden concern, and politely thanked him back. Deliberately distanced himself. But he didn't mind, and actually took a lanyard from his neck, on which hung a gourd-shaped jade, delicate and clear, with a white glow in the middle.

"Heart Protector Gu." Gong Yaoyuan narrowed his eyes, one of the three holy relics of Beiliang in the legend.

"Her Royal Highness the princess, the minister will leave for Beiliang tomorrow, farewell today, I don't know when I can see you again, and I can't participate in the princess's wedding, this is a little bit of Weichen's heart, please don't refuse." There is no second piece of this thing in the world, I hope the princess will cherish it! After speaking, he solemnly handed over to Chu Leyan and turned to Xia Qingyi.

"Eldest princess, the green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, we will see you in the rivers and lakes!" , Xia Qingyi always has an indescribable feeling of disgust for this man, he feels like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, every time he looks at it, it doesn't seem to move, but maybe one day he will stick out his fangs and give himself a fatal blow. This feeling of trepidation is unsettling. So when he said goodbye to the rivers and lakes, she really gave birth to the feeling that he was destined for his old enemy, Xia Qingyi shook her head, forcing herself to get rid of this illusory illusion.

"Princess, remember our agreement, you must not confess me! I went to change my clothes. As soon as Xia Qingyi finished instructing, Emperor Nanchu came over, and just now the envoy of Beiliang said goodbye to him, but he didn't pay attention, and the person disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Yan'er, tell your father, who is that woman?"

"Which woman?" Chu Leyan blinked his innocent big eyes, pretending to be stupid and very cute and cute!

"It is a capital crime to deceive the king!" Emperor Nanchu straightened his face and said seriously.

"Father, the son really doesn't know who you are asking, if you really want to give the son to death, you just command, the son has no words." As he spoke, his eyes were faintly foggy.

Emperor Nanchu sighed, knowing that he couldn't ask anything, and left with his sleeves.
