Chapter VII The Prince of Zhao
The people of Baiweiju have long been dumbfounded, and such a drama is rare. I've seen fights, and there are many people who use knives, but the children of the big families in Kyoto directly provoked trouble, and even showed their daggers. It must have been a stroke of luck to be able to see such a scene.
Du Ankang was very faceless, he couldn't stop Bai Li, but he was stopped by this young man in white, not to mention that his cultivation should be much stronger than this young man.
He thought carefully about the sword just now, and it seemed that he simply picked up the dagger in Bai Li's hand, but he was able to react extremely quickly in this situation, and pick the dagger so accurately, the control of the long sword, the control of strength, angle and timing were all accurate to a very terrifying degree.
Du Ankang looked at the young man in white with a little approval. If he stood in Ye Qinghuan's position, he would be able to do so. But at Ye Qinghuan's age, he is not sure that he can handle it as perfectly as Ye Qinghuan.
Thinking that the young man in white was the top of the A list three years ago, Du Ankang felt a little relieved and comforted himself: "The top of the A list back then should have such strength. ”
Qiu Ruoruo turned her head and was about to think about it, but Yu Zhi grabbed her left hand. Yu Zhi didn't intend to continue wasting time here and ruining the good mood of the day.
Immediately, Qiu Ruoruo glared at Bai Li viciously, helped Yu Zhi to leave.
Under the "escort" of everyone's eyes, Bai Li didn't make any more moves, he should have been shocked by Ye Qinghuan's words. There are not many rumors about Ye Qinghuan, about three years ago, in the Qingyun test, he beat Bai Yu, Luo Qingshu and others as a dark horse and won the top spot on the first list.
Ye Qinghuan said very little, but he did what he said.
Qiu Ruoruo and Yu Zhi walked ahead, and Ye Qinghuan waited for the two of them to walk a few steps before they followed.
At this time, a group of people happened to walk in outside the ancient wooden gate, and they happened to meet the three of them. One of the young men was dressed in a black feather robe, and he was extravagant, and there was arrogance hidden between his eyebrows. Gentle as jade, it is not difficult to recognize that this is the same prince who likes to walk around the streets of Kyoto.
"When I went out today, I heard the magpies in the house calling again and again, and I thought that I must have met a noble person today. I never thought it was Ruoruo's sister. If your sister comes to Baiweiju, it is rare. ”
Qiu Ruoruo just smiled slightly, and she was not too surprised to see the person who came, "His Royal Highness the Prince actually came to Baiweiju as well." ”
Saying that, Qiu Ruoruo introduced Yu Zhi and Ye Qinghuan to each other again. Yu Zhi didn't expect that this was the prince in King Zhao's mansion, so he saluted and exchanged a few words of greeting.
The word "Yu Zhi" is unfamiliar to this prince of Zhao, and after being reminded by the next person, the prince of Zhao remembered that this is the "shame of asking the question" that is extremely famous in Kyoto. Surprised that when Qiu Ruoruo walked with Yu Zhi, his cold expression flashed, and his enthusiasm for Yu Zhi inadvertently decreased a little. On the contrary, Ye Qinghuan aroused his interest, and the top of the first list of Qingyun Tests was not the first place in Qingyun Test.
On the first list, everyone is appointed by the Great Chu Emperor, if no one can get into the first list in the Qingyun test, then this year's first list will no longer have a name. In the past 100 years, the first list of Qingyun has only been opened three times, and the last two times have been separated by 60 years.
Zhao Wang Shizi was not overly enthusiastic, and it was obviously impossible to become a confidant when they first met. However, Ye Qinghuan's coldness also surprised the prince of Zhao Wang. After a few words, there was no longer any thought of continuing the conversation between the two.
Bai Li and the two of them were not interested in eating, so they took the dagger and saw this group of people as soon as they stepped out of the ancient wooden gate.
"I've seen His Royal Highness." Du Ankang saluted, and Bai Li also saluted.
Seeing that it was the prince of Zhao Wang, those idle people who watched the excitement came forward and told them about the conflict between the two sides, which was inevitably exaggerated. Of course, the more exaggerated this kind of gossip is, the more interesting it can be.
After hearing about it, the prince of Zhao really became interested. "Bai Xiaogongzi, no matter how you don't hit someone, you shouldn't start beating people. bullied Ruoruo's sister in such a crowd, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses of the five cities will definitely bully back. ”
Qiu Ruoruo is very smart, and this is spread in Kyoto. Hearing the words of King Zhao Shizi, his brows furrowed slightly. On the surface, it seemed that he was helping Qiu Ruoruo speak, but after thinking about it carefully, it was the abuse of power by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.
Because he beat Qiu Ruoruo, he will be bullied by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses?
A plausible sentence means something.
Everyone shut up, thinking in their hearts about what this prince of Zhao was thinking.
Indeed, the Son of the World really understands things. The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is in charge of the security affairs in Kyoto, and if there is a little unrest that affects the palace, the Autumn Commander will definitely not be able to afford it. Qiuqiu, you still have to remind Commander Qiu a lot. Nowadays, someone dares to bully you, and dares to beat someone if you don't agree with each other, so rampant and domineering. If it is put on ordinary people, wouldn't they only be able to admit their mistakes in a low voice, and there would be no justice at all? ”
Yu Zhi's voice was very calm, neither humble nor arrogant, no edge, no fear.
"It's not just Qiuqiu, even if those ordinary people are beaten like this for no reason, can the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division stand by and watch?" Yu Zhi was completely like he was joking, and saluted to the prince again, and asked respectfully, "What does the prince think?" ”
Zhao Wang Shizi was not half displeased, seeing this "shame of asking" talking like this, although he did not deliberately target anyone, his smile was still full of face, but there was some unwarranted confidence in his bones, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
"That's what Brother Tai said."
When Prince Zhao knew Yu Zhi's name, he just called him Brother Tai, and he really didn't want to get involved.
"Kyoto can be peaceful, and Autumn commands the hard work."
Qiu Ruoruo also picked up the conversation at this moment and said: "Thanks to Your Majesty's good governance and the emperor's blessing, my father doesn't dare to say that he is meritorious." ”
The prince of Zhao Wang laughed, and everyone laughed. This matter can be regarded as uncovered. After all, in the eyes of everyone, Bai Li was a loss, and this young man, who was deeply valued by Qiu Ruoruo, tactfully resolved the difficulties of King Zhao's son, so he naturally had to give up.
Besides, there was also Ye Qinghuan on the side. Qiu Ruo is already good if he doesn't care.
The prince of Zhao invited Qiu Ruoruo to go upstairs to drink, and Qiu Ruoruo knew that Yu Zhi didn't like to talk to the living, so he politely shirked it and made an appointment to talk together next time. The three of them walked out of Baiweiju.
After this incident, Qiu Ruoruo had no interest in eating, but Yu Zhi's stomach was calling all the time, and the particles had not entered after noon, and his stomach was really hungry.
Yu Zhi casually found a wonton stall on the street and waited for the steaming wontons.
......
After the play ended, Baiweiju returned to its usual liveliness and calm. It's just that the guests at each table have more things to talk about, such as Qiu Ruoruo, such as Ye Qinghuan, and the boy who was dressed very thin in winter.
The prince of Zhao knew Yu Zhi's identity, but it was impossible to publicize that the person who was accompanying Miss Qiu was the famous "shame of asking the question". He poured a glass of warm rice wine, swallowed it slowly, and the warm wine felt warmer in his stomach, and then he said leisurely: "It is said that there are two sons in the family of Hubu Shangshu, and they are both powerful." Not to mention the big Bai Yu, it is naturally powerful to be able to enter the first list, but this small Bai Li ......"
The person opposite the prince of Zhao Wang was a very important staff member under him, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The little son of the Bai family is the first among the students admitted to the Knowledge Academy this year, and according to his talent, he will definitely show his talents in the Qingyun Examination in three years." ”
Prince Zhao shook his head, put down the wine glass, and the waiter on the side naturally added rice wine. "Talent is good, but this character is not good." In fact, he heard about this conflict on the way to Baiweiju early on, and deliberately stepped into Baiweiju after the conflict ended. How Bai Li spoke and how he did it all entered his ears exactly.
The staff member also smiled, after all, he was only a twelve-year-old child, what could he say to him to endure the calm for a while? Impulsiveness is the flesh and blood that young people should have. The staff looked at the master on the other side again, obviously he was only eighteen-year-old Zhao Wang Shizi, but he was more like an adult.
Zhao Wang Shizi raised his glass, looking at the snow scene of the big lake in the east of Baiweiju, he didn't drink, but he put the wine glass down, and his face showed a trace of doubt.
"That young man in sackcloth today is really the one in the academy who asked the question? In terms of words, it really doesn't look like it. ”
Zhao Wang Shizi recalled every word that Yu Zhi said, seemingly unfazed, but it was able to invisibly dissolve the undercurrent in the depths, especially Yu Zhi's last sentence, who can say otherwise?
The Great Chu Dynasty said that it was fair.
"You say, is there really anyone who can endure such infamy? I can't pass the hospital examination in six years...... Hehehe"
The staff thought for a moment and said, "Naturally, it can't. I also gave the man a few more glances, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. Maybe... Maybe it's just a little smarter. ”
Thinking of the calm expression on Yu Zhi's face, as well as the demeanor that made him have to say "yes", Zhao Wang Shizi nodded and said with some disbelief: "Maybe." However, this Ye Qinghuan's appearance in Kyoto should have been invited by Qiu Ruoruo for the mission in the north. I don't know what good conditions the Qiu family gave Ye Qinghuan, and they actually let him come down from Tiandao Mountain. ”
King Zhao Shizi has always known that the top of the first list is on Tiandao Mountain.
The staff hesitated, but still said: "Today's words are a little heavier. ”
"Oh?" Prince Zhao raised his eyebrows.
"When the prince listened to the news of Baiweiju, he entered the game. The allusion to the Qiu family must be understood by everyone, and it will be transmitted to the Qiu Mansion today. It's not good to help the Bai family offend the Qiu family in this way. ”
The prince of Zhao was silent, he thought he was thoughtful.
"The prince doesn't have to worry about it, it's just some small conflicts. The one from the Qiu family won't hold a grudge, they are all old foxes, and if they hear it, they can't hear it. ”
King Zhao raised his glass and toasted. "Thank you, sir, for your advice. I really didn't think so carefully about it. ”
The staff just smiled, he naturally couldn't explain the thoughts of this prince of Zhao.
The snow scenery of Lake Hakilli Higashi is beautiful, and it is one of the best snow scenes in Kyoto. But the prince of Zhao knew that the most beautiful snow scene would not be here, but in the city within the city further east of East Lake.
