Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Dispute (Part 5!)
Zhao Ying practiced swords in the backyard as usual.
Recently, she is in a good mood, learning the swordsmanship taught by Qin Ming every day, and every time she practices, she can't help but think of Qin Ming's undefeated figure when he was discussing swords in the White Crane Tower, and she feels as if Qin Ming is beside her to point out, and her heart is as sweet as honey.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that a group of people were watching her, and she was uncomfortable.
Zhao Ying looked back and saw a group of young people standing with his father, not knowing what they were doing.
She immediately remembered that her father had mentioned the coming of the beast rejection envoys, and I was afraid that these were the people.
But weren't they arranged at the inn? How could they be here?
"City Lord Zhao, who is that woman?" Qi Tang couldn't help but lick his lips, with a look of indulgence.
Not only him, but several young people among the representatives of the ten major sects were attracted by Zhao Ying, and they couldn't move for a while.
Zhao Ying is worthy of being the number one beauty in Blackwater City, her appearance is probably the first-class beauty even among the top ten sects, and the young and handsome people of these sects rarely see such a superb woman, and they can't take their eyes off at this moment.
Zhao Man knew that it was not good when he saw this situation.
He has heard of this Qi Tang prince, he is the sister-in-law of Dongxiang Hou, and there are many bad rumors about him, and it is pediatrics to rob people's daughters or something.
Zhao Man was worried that his daughter would suffer, so he hurriedly said, "My lord, that's the little girl Zhao Ying." I've already promised to be married. ”
As soon as these words came out, a group of young people looked sorry, and Qi Tang was stunned.
Immediately, he reacted and asked, "City Lord Zhao, it's not interesting for you to say that, if your daughter is married, why is she still living in the City Lord's Mansion?"
"This, the little girl is already engaged. ”
"Engaged? That is, not married yet?"
This deputy envoy Qi Tang was a little persevering, and immediately asked again: "When will you get engaged? How long will it take to get married?"
His original intention was to see if there was enough time for him to conquer Zhao Ying, but as soon as he asked this, Zhao Man suddenly couldn't answer.
At this time, the head of the Mo family, who had been accompanying the Beast Rejection Mission, immediately glanced at the patriarch of a small family next to him, and the man immediately replied.
"My lord, Miss Zhao was the kiss she made last night. ”
Zhao Man's face changed, and he glared at the man hatefully.
Although the patriarch of the small family was a little afraid, he was not so afraid when he thought of having the support of the Mo family.
"Last night, you mean that you only decided to kiss yesterday?" This time it was Cheng Rui, the beast rejecting envoy, who spoke this time, and his face suddenly showed displeasure when he heard this.
"Lord Hui, it's true!"
"Okay! Okay, you're Zhao Man! I said why is the tribute so small, it turned out that you swallowed it privately! You heard that we were coming, so you casually found someone to marry your daughter, and took the tribute first, didn't you!" Cheng Rui immediately asked angrily.
Qi Tang also reacted and said angrily: "City Lord Zhao, you are so bold, even we dare to deceive!"
The marriage between the little girl and the son-in-law was just a coincidence, they had already loved each other, and they eventually became married. Besides, the lower officials didn't know that you were coming yesterday!" Zhao Man hurriedly explained.
"Hmph, that's a nice thing you said. Qi Tang walked up to the little family master at this time and asked, "Let me ask you, who is the daughter of the city lord of Zhao marrying, is it someone who is looking for it randomly." ”
"This ...... , Miss Zhao's husband is Qin Ming, the eldest young master of the Qin family. I don't know if it's a random villain. The little master replied truthfully.
"Qin Ming, the eldest young master of the Qin family, sounds like a figure with a head and a face, but what is his identity?" Qi Tang continued to ask.
"This Qin family was the number one clan in our Blackwater City before the beast tide, but it suffered heavy losses in the beast tide, and the eldest prince Qin Ming was already the only male in the Qin family. There are only two people in the Qin family now, and besides Qin Ming, there is also his blind sister Qin Min. The little family master took Qin Ming's old bottom out in one go.
Qi Tang was furious when he heard this.
"Okay, City Lord Zhao. Find a lonely young man to marry his daughter, are you going to kick him away when we leave, and take so much tribute for nothing!"
"Zhao Man, you've gone too far this time!" Cheng Rui couldn't help but snort.
Zhao Man was really forced to have no choice now, so he had to continue to explain: "Ladies and gentlemen, how dare the lower officials deceive. This Qin Ming is the eldest son of the Qin family, and he is also a good match with the little girl. Although the Qin family has declined, Qin Ming is a talent, both civil and military, and will definitely become the pillar of Blackwater City in the future. The two of them have long been in love, and the marriage of the little girl by the lower official is completely fulfilling the affection of the two of them. ”
"After all that, you just don't admit to embezzling the tribute, right?" Qi Tang asked.
"How can the subordinate admit that there is nothing in the matter?" Zhao Man insisted on not admitting his guilt.
Zhao Ying stood in the distance and saw that there was more and more chaos over there, and couldn't help frowning. It stands to reason that a woman's family should not be involved in the affairs of her father and the refusal of beasts. But now that her father seems to be persecuted by them, she can't stand it at all.
Zhao Ying walked over to this side and began to understand what they were saying. said that Zhao Man temporarily found someone to assume his relatives, in order to embezzle the things in the warehouse.
Where was Zhao Ying willing to let her father be wronged, she immediately ran over to argue.
"Please don't frame my father, Qin Ming and I really love each other. It's not a temporary appointment at all, and the patriarchs of yesterday's banquet can also testify. ”
"Miss Zhao, yesterday's wedding banquet was indeed true, but we don't understand the thoughts of City Lord Zhao. The patriarch of the small family continued to add fuel and vinegar.
When Qi Tang saw Zhao Ying coming closer, he almost forgot to think, and his eyes glanced at Zhao Ying vigorously.
Cheng Rui, the beast rejection envoy, said at this time: "Miss Zhao, how do you prove that your father is not pretending to be married?"
"I ......"
Zhao Ying was speechless for a while, and then gritted her teeth and blurted out: "Qin Ming and I already have a husband and wife." ”
Zhao Mangang was stunned when he wanted to say something, but he didn't expect his daughter to say such a thing, and in front of so many big people.
Since he had already said it, he couldn't do anything about it, so he had to say: "Ladies and gentlemen, this matter is about the little girl's name, and the little girl has already said such a thing, don't you still believe it?"
The representatives of the major sects were silent, the women's name was big, and most of them chose to believe it, but the decision-making power was not in their hands, and it was up to Cheng Rui and Qi Tang to decide.
At this time, Qi Tang heard that Zhao Ying and Qin Ming were husband and wife, and felt that the things he liked were snatched away by life, his eyes were full of resentment, and his chest rose and fell in anger.
He immediately shouted: "What is the name, there is no basis for empty words, you can say whatever you want." ”
"You!" Zhao Ying trembled with anger from him, but knew that his status was noble and he couldn't do anything with him.
"Alright, don't make a fuss. Cheng Rui interrupted the argument at this time, "That's it, now the focus is on whether City Lord Zhao is looking for someone to fool us casually." I think there's a best way to do it. ”
"What's the solution?"
"Just call that Qin Ming over, we have to see if he is really proficient in Wen Taowu. ”
"Okay, then, according to what your lord said, we will call him over. "Zhao Ying is still very confident in Qin Ming.
"Wait!"
"What else do you have to say? ”
"I said, if you want to prove that he is proficient in Wen Taowu, you have to find someone to compare with him. I have representatives of the major sects here, and Qin Ming must overcome them. Cheng Rui said.
"This, how is this possible. The cultivation of these elite factions is not comparable to our Blackwater City martial artists, and it is too difficult for adults to resist beasts. ”
"Hmph, you also underestimate us too much, if we try to compete with him, we will naturally press our cultivation to the same level as him, so as not to fall into the mouth!" Hua Yuan, the representative of the Dragon Slaying Sword Sect, said first, he was already anxious, and he couldn't help anything, so he spoke first.
Cheng Rui nodded and said, "Miss Zhao heard it, the major sects will not bully the small. If it is a competition, it must be conducted in the same realm. ”
"Since the Beast Rejection Envoy has said so, we will proceed according to the rules, and I will personally go to find my future husband so that you can meet him well. ”
Seeing this situation, Zhao Man had no other good way, so he could only agree and let Zhao Ying call Qin Ming.
After Zhao Ying left, Mo Yi couldn't help frowning, he knew that Qin Ming's sword path was profound, and no one in the same realm of Blackwater City could beat him in the sword way. But thinking that these are all elite factions, and they are good at all kinds of weapons, it shouldn't be that they can't take a genius from Blackwater City.
