Chapter 224: Martial Arts Competition

also forced her to stay in Xuanyuan Country, compared with the Black Soul Palace, Xuanyuan Che's methods were much more transparent.

This kind of man-made knife warrior, I feel like fish and meat, it's really uncomfortable.

Moreover, the existence of this Black Soul Hall has already threatened Zhu Jiu's life, this time they only said that they would leave when they got to the treasure map, so next time, what do they want to do with Zhu Jiu?

According to their despicable and undisciplined way of acting, they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, and they are afraid that Zhu Jiu will not prepare early, and there is no room to resist them at all.

No matter how strong a person's strength is, it is limited, so it is better to cooperate with others to bring down this big problem!

As soon as Su Erniang left, Zhu Jiu's eyes had murderous intent.

It just so happened that at this time, there was a guest outside, it was Shen Xiuzhi from Changxiu Palace.

After the show girls of Changxiu Palace knew Zhu Jiu's identity, they always got along well with her, and even Shen Xiuzhi had a good opinion of Zhu Jiu because of the assassin.

The weather in early spring was very warm, and she wore a light peony brocade robe, and the gauze skirt swayed in the wind, which made her slender figure more dignified and beautiful.

When Zhu Jiu turned his head to gesture with her, the expression on his face had returned to calm, "Miss Shen."

"General Zhu, the weather is good today, you won't dislike me if I come to sit with you for a while, right?"

Shen Xiuzhi also joked with her, but when she said this, her eyes were a little nervous, and as soon as she sat down, she waved away the maids around her.

Zhu Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Something?"

Shen Xiuzhi was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, she still looked at her generously and said solemnly: "Tomorrow is the canonization ceremony of the concubine, you won't compete with me for the position of queen, right?" If you don't make a move, this position in the middle palace will definitely be owned by me."

What she can say is so sure, it seems that Xuanyuan Che has already made an order, Xuanyuan needs a queen, and this queen is not something he can decide.

If he insists on going his own way, he will only upset the balance between the current family and the nouveau riche.

Besides, Shen Xiuzhi is indeed the best candidate to be the queen, which is also pushed up by Zhu Jiu himself, so he naturally has no objections when he hears this, and nods and says, "Don't worry, I have never set my eyes on the position of the queen, and this Xuanyuan country is not my homeland, not the place where I will remember."

Shen Xiuzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly glad that she came to tell Zhu Jiu in advance today, and after getting Zhu Jiu's affirmative answer, she would be able to relax after she went back, and she could prepare for tomorrow's canonization ceremony.

And she came here today, not because she was overconfident, because the Internal Affairs Office had already sent the phoenix seal and phoenix talisman to her side, so just in case, she came to talk to Zhu Jiu in advance.

After listening to Zhu Jiu at this time, she put down the mustard and said to Zhu Jiu: "Don't worry, when I sit on the throne of the queen, I will not target you like before, after all, I am from a family, and I also have my pride."

She is the concubine of the Shen family, and when the Thousand-Faced Fox attacked the queen candidate before, even if she was captured, she did not compromise.

From this, it is enough to see that Shen Xiuzhi is also a woman with integrity, but last year she cared too much about grace and was unwilling to be compared to Zhu Jiu, who was left in the palace by Tuoba Ye, the daughter of a criminal minister, so he targeted her.

But these things have passed, Zhu Jiu didn't take it to heart, and even if there is no Shen Xiuzhi, there will be other women who will deal with her in order to compete for favor.

After Shen Xiuzhi finished speaking, she raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Xiuzhi lightly, "Even if Xuanyuan Che doesn't love you, you are willing to be his queen?"

"Hmph," Shen Xiuzhi smiled contemptuously when she said this, "As long as I'm the queen, all I want is this posterior."

She is the daughter of the Shen family, and she is naturally willing to do things that can bring glory to the Shen family, and this is the first founding queen after the restoration of Xuanyuan Kingdom, and Shen Xiuzhi is very happy with her.

After leaving Changle Palace, Shen Xiuzhi also left a wedding cake.

Zhu Jiu asked Hanmei to put away this box of wedding cakes, or give them to others to eat, and then went back to the martial arts training ground to practice martial arts.

Now the entire harem knows that His Majesty will carry out the ceremony tomorrow, from the very beginning of the rumors, Princess Lin Ye is the queen, to now Shen Xiuzhi is the queen, the palace remarks have changed, but it does not affect the palace people to follow the rules

The palace is particularly prosperous and dazzling.

thought that there was only one person in the martial arts training field, but today there is one more He Hongying.

Zhu Jiu didn't expect to see her here, and both sides also knew each other's details, yes, there was nothing to hide, so he stepped forward and greeted: "Such a coincidence, you are also here."

He Hongying's body stiffened slightly, then looked sideways, and nodded softly: "General Zhu, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Wait for me?"

Zhu Jiu looked at her unexpectedly, but quickly withdrew his gaze, took a red tassel gun, and went to the field to practice.

Seeing her fierce style, He Hongying hooked her lips and smiled, holding another red tassel spear and stepping forward, fighting with her, "I want to see if the people closest to His Majesty are as good at martial arts as him."

The last time the two met on the outskirts of the city, they fought once, but they didn't tell the winner, and He Hongying was called back by Xuanyuan Che.

Today, when Zhu Jiu had the opportunity to make a move, she naturally wouldn't keep her hand, and after saying this, she attacked her with all her might. Five

Looking at the trick of hidden killing intent, Zhu Jiu's eyes were slightly dark, and he didn't leave his hand, the surrounding guards had already been sent away by He Hongying, there were only the two of them at the moment, if someone was really injured, if the other party didn't call the imperial doctor in time, I was afraid that he would really die in the martial arts arena.

After the half-burnt incense passed, Zhu Jiu shook off the weapon in her hand with a shot, and pulled the opponent's knee, He Hongying's body was unstable, she subconsciously took a few steps back, and was about to fall off the martial arts arena, but was pulled back by Zhu Jiu.

When He Hongying snorted and knelt on one knee, she looked up at her unwillingly, but the moment she looked up, the look on her face changed to a smile of admiration: "General Zhu, I lost."

"Your martial arts are very good, and you deserve to be the one who can protect him for ten years."

Zhu Jiu looked at her with a smile, "It's only been ten years, and you haven't been able to kill me, and now, do you still want to kill me?"

He Hongying's heart sank, this sentence undoubtedly poked at the deepest thoughts in her heart, especially Zhu Jiu's eyes, as if they had seen through her, she had long known that she was not here to compete with her at all, but to be here...... Kill her openly!

He Hongying's face turned pale, and she reluctantly pursed her lips and said, "General Zhu, what are you talking about? I don't know what you mean."

"Oh, don't know what I mean? Your purpose from the beginning was not to protect Xuanyuan Che, but to kill me, right? I followed him and just wanted to use him as a scapegoat," Zhu Jiu stared at her indifferently, revealing He Hongying's true purpose when she was an elephant slave, "I captured Xuanyuan Che to the General's Mansion, and also looted the treasures of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, you were looking for a treasure map at that time, and you should have thought that the treasure map was in my hands."

"Xuanyuan Che's hatred for me has increased since childhood, and you don't have the credit for sowing discord?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Seeing her pile by pile, one by one, telling the deepest secrets of He Hongying's heart, He Hongying finally couldn't hold back, and the moment the smile on her face disappeared, she shot a hidden weapon at Zhu Jiu fiercely-
