Chapter 55: The Challengers
Entering the palace was more orderly than expected.
When the husband came to the gate of the imperial city with the rabbit master who had turned into a little white rabbit, there were already two or three people waiting. When they got closer, they finally saw that in addition to the eunuch who led them into the palace, there were two men, both of whom looked very young.
One is very tall and strong like a mountain of meat, and the other does not seem to be very strong, but he is handsome, but his posture is tall and handsome, his clothes are very decent, and there is no trace of fat on his body. In the five years of Taihang Mountain, the husband has not been less than a few martial arts brothers, and he is still very keen on the feelings of martial arts practitioners, this young man has the same feeling as several senior brothers, which makes her vigilant.
In the past few years, more than 500 people have taken turns to challenge His Royal Highness Qinglin, and they have all been defeated and eliminated in the first round of martial arts tests. Now there is a little white face again, and at first glance, it is beyond his strength, the eunuch yawned and thought, Yu Guang glanced at her wooden number, five hundred and twenty-one, ranking second among the five candidates who entered the palace this time. The old eunuch's eyes lit up, and he suddenly saw the little white rabbit in her arms, and looked at the husband again. In the past three years, he has seen all kinds of strange people, he has seen birds of prey and beasts, but he has never seen them come with pets. This kid can't have a bad brain, right?
"What is the rabbit in your arms for?" Orchid pointed at the rabbit and asked sharply.
"Back to my father-in-law, this rabbit was originally a spirit rabbit that I juggled to make a living, if you don't believe it, I'll show you. The husband put the rabbit on the ground and made a look.
Master Rabbit trembled, Chu Chu looked at her pitifully, and saw that she was also blinking her eyes and waiting with great interest, and the hope in her heart was completely shattered.
Alas, pity him for his chic life, and now he is going to sell cute......
Seeing such a lovely creature, the hind limbs landed on the ground, the two small claws in front of him drew two circles, and the right side drew two circles, and then there was an amazing one-legged spin and big jump, even the eunuch couldn't help but laugh.
"Do you sell this rabbit or not?" I will pay as much as I want!" Although the old eunuch is of a relatively high rank in the palace, he is alone all day long, and he is lonely and suffering, thinking that it is better to buy a rabbit and go back to relieve his boredom.
"Back to my father-in-law, this rabbit has been with me since he was a child, and he doesn't listen to other people's orders. If my father-in-law wants to see it, he will often play with you after taking me into the palace, can you see it?"
When the old eunuch saw this, he no longer insisted on it, what was the use of asking for a disobedient rabbit, there was something in the dining room, why bother to buy it at a high price. However, seeing that this young man was so polite and thoughtful, he was also very useful, and politely arranged her into the team.
The rabbit returned to the arms of the husband, so angry that he couldn't show his real body, which could scratch her hard with his rabbit claws through his clothes. He actually betrayed him, which is hateful and hateful......
Seeing that the rabbit turned into a coquettish white rabbit, the husband was very cute. But he was afraid that his clothes would be torn if he was caught like this, so he took out a small carrot from the package and gave it to him. The husband knew that he had no way to resist the food when he turned into a rabbit, and the rabbit was holding the carrot and gnawing on it, so naturally he didn't have the kung fu to catch her.
After placing the rabbit master, the husband thought in his heart, sure enough, after the prince challenged one hundred and five rounds, all the steps were already familiar, and even the eunuchs who were waiting for the decree had a special person to serve as a part-time person, but he couldn't help but sigh that no one had succeeded in challenging so many people, but I was afraid that the prince was also very powerful. If it is a potato, it is naturally powerful, he has never lost in poetry and songs, and he must not be wrong to practice martial arts under the cruel training of Qinglin Palace, and he can't help but get nervous in his heart.
According to the arrangement of the soft-voiced eunuch, she stood behind the handsome man, in front of the tall and fat man, according to the wooden number.
The handsome man standing in front of her was very surprised by the feeling of martial arts training in addition to his figure, and he counted the glittering golden hairpin on his head. She has grown so old and seen someone wearing a hosta, a bamboo hairpin, and a silver hairpin, but she has never seen anyone wearing a golden hairpin. Doesn't this mean that I have a very rich brand on my head? Tsk, it seems that this little brother's family is quite rich......
"Gold, ah......" the husband blurted out with a sigh.
It was just a very small sigh, but the man in front of him turned his head and looked at her fixedly for a long time, a smile flashed in his delicate eyebrows, and he replied, "Silver, ......."
The husband was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that the Painted Soul Sword on his head was not like a silver hairpin?
"Ha Lu Ha ......" The husband was infinitely embarrassed, regretting that he had made others unhappy by his troubles, "I was abrupt just now, I don't know the name of this brother?"
The handsome man did not answer, and looked at her with a smile on his face. Unexpectedly, he took two steps close to her, and reached out and attached his hand to her forehead. The husband was taken aback by this sudden intimate move, and almost threw the rabbit out of the city. As a result, he retreated in a panic, but stepped on the instep of the sturdy and tall brother behind him.
Seeing that he was born with a good skin, the husband couldn't help but think of the gossip of the ninth senior brother of the poisonous snake chewing his tongue when he was in Taihang Mountain. He said that mortals who are born in this world are either born with ** or self-righteous obstacles. She went through the appearance of several senior brothers, and she counted the blind Gu Yu who looked good. In terms of talent and morality, Senior Brother Jiu is naturally incomparable, and it is inevitable that he will be disgusted. So the husband always thought that he was unwilling to say sour things because the master favored the fourth senior brother. She has always been unimpressed, but now it seems that it is really as Senior Brother Jiu said, those who are born well are all self-righteous ** ghosts?
"Ahem, what is this for?!" Although the husband turned into a man and was familiar with the car, he was very uncomfortable being so close. Besides, she also stepped on the eldest brother behind her, with the body of the eldest brother, it is estimated that one kick can kick her out of eight feet away, but now she is very polite and silent, which is quite interesting. However, this disciple still refused to let go, she was put between the two of them, and she couldn't help but feel angry, and reached out to grab his hand attached to his forehead.
It doesn't matter if you grasp it, but you have confirmed a fact. This man is really not an ordinary person, she just shook it and found that the calluses on his palms were scabbed and felt the same as those of the senior brother who had been practicing martial arts for decades. Looking at his appearance of fine skin and tender flesh and the golden hairpin on his head, he knew that this man's family was not short of money, and naturally it was not sharpened by hoeing and grinding without leisure, but often made swords and dance knives. From the thickness of this cocoon, it is known that he has at least ten years of martial arts training.
The husband chuckled in his heart, his eyes lit up, this person is only as powerful as the prince, not a good stubble.
The man pulled away, pulled her with him, got up in a panic, and finally got rid of the embarrassment of being besieged from front to back, and hurriedly turned around to apologize to the tall big brother, and when he turned around again, he saw that the short knife she usually used at her waist was being held in the hand of the disciple at the moment.
"Give it back to me!" the husband was angry and reached out to grab it. This is really a real disciple, and he even robbed her best guy, and he deceived people too much!
"Where did you get this knife?"
Deng's disciple changed his hand with a knife and asked sharply.
When he asked him this, the husband was also stunned, and turned very angry, as if he was blaming himself for taking something from others.
"This brother has too much to do, isn't it? This short knife was originally given by a friend five years ago, but I don't know why you took it away for nothing?"
The husband is still holding the rabbit in his arms, which is very inconvenient. Master Rabbit was still holding a carrot in his arms and was reluctant to throw it away to teach this disciple a lesson, blinking his eyes and holding the carrot and gnawing wildly, it was a little close, wait for me to finish gnawing the carrot and then help you......
She was angry, looking at the rabbit who was gnawing carrots in her arms, she was even more angry, and stuffed him into the burden behind her, and took out two free hands, and took back the short knife in three or two strokes, and wiped it with her sleeve, as if it was stained with unclean things.
"Don't be angry, this little brother is just curious about the strange structure of this short knife in the next place. I don't know who gave you this short knife is?"
"I don't know what to do!" the husband gave him a blank look, and what he said was angry and the truth, she really didn't know what the name of the little boy she saved her life was. At the same time, he also added a little vigilance to this person who changed his face faster than the sky.
The young man who was glanced at was not angry, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his smile was extremely bright. If he brushes his sleeves and turns around, it makes sense, and when the husband sees him laughing, he feels a chill on his back, this person is so strange!
"The auspicious time has come, enter the palace~"
The old eunuch's shrill voice broke the stalemate between the two, and the vermilion door opened.
The husband looked back, and according to her inquiry, each challenger entered the palace in groups of five. But here, except for the disciple of Nadeng, he is only left with a mountain of meat behind him. Did the other two abstain? Or did they oversleep......
Speculating on the other two challengers who were delayed in the future, the husband followed the disciple and the old eunuch and walked into the threshold of the palace.
Although she had imagined the grandeur of the palace before entering the palace, she was really surprised when she saw it with her own eyes.
The old eunuch took them to turn left and right, and passed through a gorgeous dormitory for a while, only to see the cloud top sandalwood as the beam in the dormitory, the crystal jade as the lamp, the pearl as the curtain, and the fan gold as the pillar base, and the wind stirred, like a fairyland on earth. After a while, I passed by a treasure hall, and there was a huge bright moon pearl hanging on the top of the treasure in the hall, shining brightly, like a bright moon. The ground is paved with white jade, embedded with glaze, and the ground is chiseled for lotus. Such a poor worker is extremely beautiful, but this is the first time I have seen it.
After a while, they passed by a back garden, which was full of strange flowers and plants, very bright and beautiful, and it was expected that the royal family members were usually visiting the place. She probably counted, there are many kinds of flowers and trees, at least dozens of species, but they are tall and handsome, interspersed with benefits, and not mixed. At the beginning of summer at this time, the wind moves and the flowers fall, thousands of flowers, paving several layers of the ground, only to see ** like the beginning of the snow, very beautiful. After a while, I passed by a pool of clear spring pond water, surrounded by pond water, duckweed all over the ground, green and clear.
Seeing such a scene, the husband couldn't help but sigh, no wonder since ancient times, in order to compete for this throne, everyone did not hesitate to cut off their siblings and cut their feelings. Extravagance is so far, and it is understandable.
Are the people here happy, though?
In the comfort and abundance under the fear, the free and barren life between the countryside and the countryside, which is happier? As far as the husband is concerned, her five years on the Taihang Mountain are many times happier than the life of worry-free food and clothing in the Wu clan. However, when she saw that her people were living in dire straits, she was willing to give up her free life and return to them. Happiness is important, but there is something more important to her, and it is the happiness of her people.
What are potatoes to you?
At this time, the palace seemed mysterious and quiet, and the husband looked up at the palace in the distance, and the palace only revealed a glazed tile roof, just like a golden island. Potato, are you here? You were the one who knocked me out and didn't say goodbye, I hated to peel you at the beginning, but now I can finally see you, wait for me! I will definitely win you, and then peel your potatoes and see what you think!
They walked for a long time, and finally arrived at the main hall of the imperial palace, the Qinglong Hall, where the emperor prayed for the ruling court.
On the high court hall, two rows of civil and military attachés wearing high hats are lined up on both sides, and on the golden dragon chair in the farthest distance is the emperor of the current Qinglong Kingdom praying, and the young man sitting next to him is the rumored Qinglin His Royal Highness praying for the hat. She followed, all the way through the sight of the crowd, to the bottom of the high platform.
The potato husband stared at His Highness Qinglin for a long time, and although she was not close, she could use a spell to see every hair on his head.
It's not like, it's so different, although the potatoes in her memory are born with sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, they always look charitable and docile, but the look of His Royal Highness Qinglin, and the unfathomable depth of the night tide in the dark jade-like eyes are something she doesn't recognize. She couldn't help but shudder, she remembered the indifferent look of the potato when she was separated at the last time, and the black eyes she saw when she was rescued a few days ago. After five years of separation, the appearance of both of them has changed a lot, and they have grown taller more than one or two heads, so it's no wonder she can't confirm it.
"Congratulations to the three warriors for passing the initial examination!"
The eunuch's high-pitched voice came, and the man came back to his senses from the spell. Strange, she had just arrived at the palace, how did she pass the initial assessment?
