Chapter 16: Returning the favor to the face
It was Xia Yun'er's turn to speak, and suddenly, all eyes immediately focused on her, which was obviously more than Xia Huo's attention to Cheng Dù.
After all, everyone wants to know more or less, how did she choose the third prince?
Especially Xia Jiang, although he was expressionless at the moment, silently looking at the man and waiting for an answer, he couldn't help but be nervous in his heart, after all, he still didn't know the other party and wasn't sure about the truth behind this matter.
"First of all, Yun'er is very grateful to everyone for your support!" Under the focus of the eyes around her, Xia Yun'er looked very calm and authentic, and she was also not nervous.
Belch?
It's just that as soon as these words came out, some people suddenly felt that she seemed to have really chosen the third prince as her future husband!
But I only heard her continue: "At the same time, thank my father for arranging such a good marriage for Yun'er, as well as the upcoming engagement celebration......" said, and there seemed to be a visible smile in his eyes, "It may make everyone laugh, but after all, as a daughter, I hope that I can follow a capable husband in the future, so I ......"
Speaking of this, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the third prince Xia Huo beside him: "I believe that the third brother must be the most capable Xia Guodong after the eldest brother and the second brother, right?" After finishing speaking, his eyes showed great confidence, and he looked straight at the other party.
Xia Yun'er's sincerity on her face made everyone look at Xia Huo in unison.
Originally, Xia Huo thought that this should be purely Xia Yun'er's words as today's curtain call, but unexpectedly, the other party suddenly turned the topic to himself, which made him stunned and a little overwhelmed, but soon saw the confidence and trust in the other party's eyes, and immediately raised his head.
"Of course!"
Faced with this situation, Xia Jiang in the queue silently observed, especially observing his father Xia Xiong at this moment, he wanted to know if Xia Yun'er's appearance was satisfactory to his father, even if it was the slightest bit of abnormality, he could guess the inside story of today's matter, but the result disappointed him, Xia Xiong, who was behind the two, seemed to be proceeding smoothly in the arrangement, and his face did not change in the slightest.
"Really?"
It was also in Xia Jiang that with the response of the third prince, today might really end here, but unexpectedly, Xia Yun'er's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and she said very mischievously: "This is unfounded, the ninth sister doesn't believe it, I believe that many brothers and sisters will not be convinced, or, how about letting a few brothers and sisters compete with the third brother when the time comes?"
Well?
Hearing this, Xia Jiang's heart was shocked, and he suddenly felt a warm current back to his heart.
But that Xia Huo was stunned, and he turned his head involuntarily and glanced at King Xia Xiong.
Originally, the marriage contract that seemed to be quite ordinary, but when Xia Huo turned his head, many people suddenly saw a clue.
And Xia Huo looked at Xia Xiong, and what he saw was still that quiet expression, which still did not change a little because of this. Seeing this scene in Xia Huo's eyes, his face suddenly became a little abnormal.
Looking from a distance, the sharp-eyed people could immediately see that Xia Huo's expression was unnatural after sweeping a glance at the king, and this has already shown that this matter today may not be so simple.
At this moment, the atmosphere was a little depressed, but then when he saw the summer fire, he immediately returned to normal, and his eyes swept sharply over Xia Yun'er, and then swept to the brothers below and said: "It's okay, except for the eldest brother and the second brother, if you are not satisfied, you can challenge me Xia Huo!"
In an instant, in the face of Xia Huo's sharp gaze, many princes suddenly felt a huge pressure, and they didn't dare to look at each other, and bowed their heads one after another.
For a while, only a very small number of people still kept their eyes on it.
"But," just when everyone thought that Xia Huo's words fell, the corners of his mouth suddenly rose and fell, and then said: "But as a child of my Xia Kingdom, I must be cautious in everything I do, and I don't play with children's play, so I have a request, as the price of the challenge, I will sacrifice a mansion!" As he spoke, Xia Huo raised a finger.
It was also in the ophthalmology of his finger that Xia Jiang, who was in the queue, felt a sharp gaze of a blade shooting towards him.
That's right, among the very few princes who didn't bow their heads, there was one of them.
Facing Xia Huo's compelling gaze, Xia Jiang not only had no intention of retreating at this moment, but instead made everyone present startled suddenly, and opened his mouth to cheer: "Well said! The third brother is worthy of being a good boy in my Xia country, and those of us who are younger brothers and sisters should learn from the third brother!" After speaking, Xia Jiang took the lead in applauding.
Originally, this kind of thing was only popular among the people, and there was no such vulgar habit in the palace, but in this oppressive atmosphere, some younger brothers and sisters instinctively applauded with Xia Jiang in order to ease the atmosphere.
As the applause fell, Xia Xiong, who had been silent, also turned around and walked silently towards the outside of the training ground.
As soon as King Xia Xiong left, the atmosphere at the scene eased and was no longer so depressing, and most of them breathed a sigh of relief.
It was only at this time that most of the mothers of the princes and princesses immediately gathered around, and they were all so eager to get together with their children and feel the atmosphere together.
However, there are exceptions, Xia Jiang's mother, Concubine Qin, is still just watching from a distance, and her face seems to be slightly ruddy because of Xia Jiang's appearance just now, but it didn't pass immediately.
Xia Jiangtong guò gaze, he could feel the torment in his mother's heart, she was reluctant not to approach him, afraid that her unfortunate anger would contaminate the other party, it was better to keep a distance for the time being, and wait for the time to run, which only as a son can he understand the deep meaning.
However, Xia Jiang was not in a hurry to see her, he still had things to do now.
The old-timers once confessed, let him try his best to accumulate luck, only the luck is greatly improved, in order to awaken the old man's mind, he always remembers, now on this occasion, everyone can be regarded as the pride of the sky, but a good time, how can you miss it?
Thinking of this, Xia Jiang immediately stepped forward and walked forward.
At this moment, everyone was immersed in laughing and chatting with their mother, only a few people seemed lonely and were about to leave, so naturally Xia Yun'er was alone. But at this moment, she was about to leave, and suddenly saw Xia Jiang walking towards her.
Xia Jiang walked towards Xia Yun'er step by step, this seemed to be the contact between the prince and princess brother and sister, which was originally inconspicuous, but in the eyes of Xia Huo, who had been staring at Xia Jiang, it was not only conspicuous, it was simply dazzling.
When he saw Xia Jiang coming, his eyes immediately became cold, revealing an obvious warning - at this time, Xia Yun'er was already his fiancée in name, and it was best for others not to have contact with her!
But Xia Jiang was unmoved, and even turned a blind eye and came to Xia Yun'er.
"Yun'er, I left in a hurry last time, I couldn't thank you, please forgive me!" Xia Jiang came to Xia Yun'er and said apologetically, last time he was low in strength, and he didn't want to be implicated in anything and make the other party embarrassed, so he left quickly, this time is different, he can rest assured to express his gratitude.
Faced with Xia Jiang's sudden direct thanks, Xia Yun'er was a little surprised, nodded hurriedly, and said, "No need, brothers and sisters should help each other." ”
"Having said that, but the 'Blood Melting Pill' is such a valuable thing, I'm afraid only Sister Yun'er has such a generous ......" Xia Jiang said with great sincerity, expressing his gratitude and admiration for Xia Yun'er, and then took out the thing he was carrying.
Xia Jiang is still a poor man, so he has nothing to give back, he can only take out the first sword he refined as a gift.
"Although this sword is ordinary, it is a wish of mine, as a thank you for the great help of the Blood Melting Pill to me, and please Sister Yun'er not dislike it!" Xia Jiang said, handing out the sword that passed by him.
After his first refining, this sword is already a magic weapon of the super first grade, and he has strengthened the refining in the past two days, although it is only a super first grade, but the quality has reached the limit, I believe that its real power is no less than an ordinary magic weapon of the second grade.
After all, for a cultivator below the level of a monk, although the second grade is good, the level is not enough to play an effect, so the super first grade is the best equipment.
Originally, Xia Yun'er still had a few Blood Melting Pills, but she forgot about it because she was a little nervous about today's accident, and she was a little regretful and ashamed, but she didn't expect Xia Jiang to come over to apologize to her and give him a sword back, which was too unexpected for her, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
It stands to reason that she now has her own magic weapon, but when the other party says this, she can't refuse, otherwise it really seems that he dislikes it.
"Well, then I'll take it. Xia Yun'er thought secretly, nodded and said, "Since Brother Jiu said so, the little sister has no reason to laugh at it! Thank you, Brother Jiu!"
As she spoke, Xia Yun'er took Xia Jiang's sword.
As soon as the sword was in her hand, Xia Yun'er suddenly felt a wave of fluctuations circulating, and it turned out to be a super product among the super.
"This sword ......" Xia Yun'er was so surprised that she couldn't help but wonder how Xia Jiang, who was in a predicament, could still have such a magic weapon, but as soon as the words came out, she felt inappropriate, so she simply took it back.
"A boy should care most about his dignity and self-confidence in front of girls, if I say the wrong thing, won't I embarrass the other party?" Xia Yun'er thought, and while retracting her words, she only nodded her head to express her silent thanks.
Xia Huo on the side, I don't know what is going on with the two of them, but I saw that the two of them seemed to be eyebrows, making him angry and sneering: "Ninth brother, you really have the ability, a dignified man, you can confuse women to give you charity, so that I have to admire the third brother!"
As soon as Xia Huo opened his mouth, it was obvious sarcasm, even a pig could hear it, but Xia Jiang saw a kind smile on his face, which made him goosebumps rise all over his body.
Xia Jiang has seen a lot of this kind of person, and naturally knows that now in the other party's heart, he is definitely thinking about how to kill him, how vicious and vicious he is, but he doesn't care, at least now he is still in the palace, he is still the ninth prince, and the other party does not dare to do anything to him.
"The third brother, don't be sarcastic about the ninth brother, they are brothers and sisters, and they should help each other. Xia Yun'er saw that Xia Huo's intentions were not good, so she couldn't help but speak.
was ruined by the summer fire, and Xia Jiang didn't want to stay here for long, so he reluctantly smiled and said: "It's okay, the third brother likes to joke, Xiao Jiu can hear it, well, today I still wish the third brother a smooth marriage contract, and the ninth brother will leave first." ”
After speaking, Xia Jiang didn't wait for the other party to answer, so he glanced at Xia Yun'er gesturedly, turned around and walked to the side.
