Chapter 140: Candidates for the Prince
Xiao Yu was thinking in his heart that this Chen Hua must have doubts about himself and Qingyue, so he deliberately said this, just to see if he would remind Qingyue.
He didn't know what was so peculiar about this splitting light sword technique, if it was really that magical, wouldn't it be immediately exposed as soon as the moon appeared?
No, he still has to remind him, thinking so, Xiao Yu said to Xi Ze: "Your Majesty, I am in a little anxious, so I will be out of company for a while." ”
Before the person could move, Chen Hua's eyes narrowed, staring at Xiao Yu and said, "Xiao Tianshi didn't want to take the opportunity to remind that assassin, right?"
Xiao Yu rolled his eyes and said angrily: "The heart of a villain." ”
"You...."
This time, Xi Ze saw that he was going to quarrel again, so he interrupted: "Okay, since Chen Aiqing is not at ease, I will send someone to follow." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
It's just that before Xiao Yu could take action, there was a white shadow suddenly floating in the sky above Zhu Guotai, slender and beautiful, out of the dust; ”
A cold voice slipped by, and everyone present was suddenly awakened like a basin of cold water.
Nishizawa came back to his senses, and then motioned to the ministers to announce the start of the competition.
"The hunting contest starts now!"
As the minister's shrill voice sounded, a presiding minister saluted to Nishizawa first, and then stood on the stage and whispered to Qingyue: "Please also ask the national teacher to move." ”
Qingyue nodded, and then came towards Xiao Yu's side.
Xiao Yu was a little anxious, and subconsciously looked at the sword on Chen Hua's waist, but naturally there was no reaction at all.
After Qingyue stood by his side, the sword still did not react, and Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to inquire about the beginning of the month, he heard the presiding minister raise his voice and say: "Before the competition, I will first announce the rules: first, the two academies will each send ten students to fight, and the point will be up to point, only the winner will be divided, not life and death; if one side is shot down from Zhu Guotai, it will be judged to lose, and those who take the initiative to admit defeat will be judged to lose." Second, in addition to the selection of generals, this competition will also select a commander, between the eldest prince and the second prince, the winner will lead the army to the Western Regions to defend against the demon beasts, I now officially announce, the competition begins. ”
As soon as the presiding minister's voice fell, a student from Xishan Academy and Xili Academy each stood up from their seats and walked to the Zhuguo platform.
This has been arranged a long time ago, and who will fight will be assessed by the courtyard himself.
This assessment is not only martial arts, but also knowledge, strategy, and strategy, all of which are indispensable, and leading troops to fight is not child's play, which is related to the safety of the whole country in the Western Calendar.
Of course, after the end of this competition, the winner will still need to go through the personal examination of His Majesty Nishizawa before he can be given an official position.
The competition between the two on the stage naturally couldn't attract Xiao Yu's attention, what he cared about was the people around him.
"Why are you here in person?"
“......”
Don't talk back at the beginning of the month, I don't even bother to give a look.
Seeing that she didn't care about herself, Xiao Yu only said that the other party was still angry with herself, so she moved closer to Qingyue, bowed her head and whispered: "Chu'er, it is said that Chen Hua practiced the splitting sword technique, you received a sword from him, why didn't the sword on his waist react?"
“......”
At the beginning of the month, he still ignored him.
Xiao Yu was a little anxious, and he didn't answer this question, which made him uncomfortable, so he stretched out a finger to hook the other party's little hand, but was grabbed by Qing Yue, and then pulled hard.
"Oh... Oh... Oh... It hurts, it hurts, Chu'er let it go!"
The voice was a little loud, so that Nishizawa, who was sitting in the front, looked back, and after seeing the intimate behavior of the two, the vague color in his eyes flashed.
Chen Hua looked at the actions of these two people, his eyes were spewing flames, Fang Qing's body style that fell from the sky at the beginning of the month, very similar to the assassin that night, he didn't know what means this national teacher used, he was obviously hit by a sword, but the sword that had been held in his hand did not react at all.
In public, he had threatened that whenever the Assassin showed up, his sword would react. As a result, the object of his suspicion appeared, but the sword did not react, if he pointed to Qingyue at this time and said that she was the assassin that night, no one would believe it, it was really hateful!
Now I see this pair of dog men and women flirting in front of His Majesty, the ministers, and even the thousands of people below, what kind of system is this!
"Chu'er, let go, it hurts! I was wrong, really wrong. ”
"What's wrong?"
"I shouldn't have done it. ”
"What else?"
"I shouldn't have taken matters into my own hands without listening to you. ”
At the beginning of the month, Xiao Yu quickly pulled his finger back to take a look, and the whole finger was swollen, probably hurting the muscles and bones, which shows how ruthless Fang Qingyue was.
Putting his hand to his mouth and blowing, looking at the fingers that were still trembling slightly, Xiao Yu's resentment was covered by layer by layer, and the woman was also a little ruthless.
After a long time, Qing Yue on the side caught a glimpse of Xiao Yu still blowing his fingers without listening, so he couldn't bear it, and said lightly: "Give me your hand." ”
Frightened, Xiao Yu hurriedly retracted his hand behind him, "What are you doing?"
Qing Yue didn't answer, grabbed the hand that put him behind him, and then used the internal force to cover that finger.
Xiao Yu only felt a cool and cool air flow slowly flowing, he had never practiced internal force, at this time he only felt that the air flow was like a spring in a stream, flowing through his fingers and reaching his heart. Obviously, there is no trace of temperature, but it makes him feel warm.
Chu'er still cares about him very much, cares about him so much, such a woman, even if she doesn't love herself now, what would she look like if the other party fell in love with her?
Thinking about it, Xiao Yu fell into reverie when he looked at the beginning of the love month.
"Don't be cranky. ”
The voice of the beginning of love sounded in real time, pulling Xiao Yu's thoughts back.
While healing Xiao Yu's injuries, Qingyue said in a low voice: "When are you going to do it?"
"When the second prince wins, it was just an opportunity at that time, Chen Hua saw that the eldest prince had no hope for the crown prince, so he had evil thoughts, so that his guilt could be better confirmed. ”
"The eldest prince lost to the second prince in the academy last time, and he must be unwilling in his heart, this official competition will definitely make a surprise move, if the eldest prince wins, what should you do?"
This is a problem, Chen Hua supports the eldest prince, if the eldest prince wins, it is too late for him to be happy, how can he suddenly lose his heart and stab Nishizawa?
If you think about it, you can think that there must be something wrong here.
How's that to be?
At this time, the first contestant on Zhu Guotai had already divided the winner and loser, and it was the students of the Western Academy who won a trick with the strange trick of the Buddha and Willow swordsmanship.
This is a victory.
"What are you thinking? You haven't answered my question yet. ”
"I'm thinking, if the situation is not good, then I have to start first, as long as the second prince is slightly defeated, I will start in advance, and I just took the opportunity to stir up this competition, as long as Chen Hua makes a move, then point the finger at the eldest prince, the two of them are in the same breath, and the eldest prince will definitely be implicated. ”
"That's very good. ”
The two stopped communicating and watched each competition intently, until the last group of students divided the winners and losers, and the competition between the two academies finally ended.
"The national teacher has taught well, I used to hear Chu'er mention how good the Buddha and Willow swordsmanship were, and I still didn't believe it, but now I have seen it with my own eyes, it is really unusual, and it is even more exquisite than the swordsmanship left by the ancestors. ”
"Your Majesty has a good reputation, the sword method of cutting immortals is intended to be magnificent, and every move and style is open and closed, and there is a tendency to swallow mountains and rivers; ”
"The spring breeze Buddha willows, peach and plum all over the sky, the meaning is pointed, the sword move is caused, not bad, not bad. ”
“.....”
I wanted to praise a couple of sentences and pull in the relationship, but at the beginning of the month, I suddenly closed my mouth, which made Nishizawa a little depressed.
But this person is a national teacher, and even his imperial grandfather has to call his sister, what can he do!
It's already very face-saving to be able to reply to the last sentence.
"Next is the selection of the coach, invite the two princes to the stage!"
As the presiding minister raised his voice, Nishizawa had no choice but to set his sights on the Zhu Guo platform.
The competition between the two princes is the highlight of this hunting competition, which is related to the next emperor and the future of the entire Western Kingdom.
Although the second prince was not on the throne before, after the fall of the eldest prince, he completely woke up.
Where is the family affection in the emperor's family, it is the norm for brothers to kill each other, if he wants to save his life, he must fight.
This is only one of the points, but more importantly, if he becomes the emperor in the future and is the most powerful son of heaven in the world, only in this way may he have a chance to get that person.
Thinking of this, the second prince deliberately glanced at the beginning of the month, this time, he was going to win no matter what.
At this glance, Xiao Yu was angry, and the damn little fart kid didn't even give up. Everyone can be your grandmother, and you dare to make up your mind!!
"Second brother, please be merciful, please!"
The second prince was still obscene, and the eldest prince no longer hesitated when he said a polite word, and raised his sword to kill.
"Boom!"
The two swords struck each other, making a clear sword sound, and the eldest prince stabbed the second prince in the chest with a sword, leaving no room at all.
Fortunately, the second prince reacted well, and hurriedly raised his sword to block it.
Then a move turned into spring breeze and rain to pick up the waist of the eldest prince.
Picking, stabbing, chopping, and slashing, all of them point to the human body's key points, and the swordsmanship is elegant, making people look like they are dancing on the blade.
Although the second prince has not studied the Buddha willow swordsmanship for a long time, he is still quite diligent, in order to behave in front of the beginning of the love month, in just over a month, he has already learned the Buddha willow swordsmanship thoroughly.
It's a pity that although the swordsmanship is good, but the internal strength is not as good as the eldest prince, last time the eldest prince deliberately hid his clumsiness and deliberately lost to the second prince, in order to let the second prince let down his guard.
Sure enough, as a few tricks passed, the second prince began to be tired of coping.
Especially in terms of strength, the Buddha Liu swordsmanship does not pay attention to strength, only pays attention to fast, accurate, and ruthless; the second prince does not have enough internal force to support, and it is difficult to achieve these three points under the big prince's big open and close moves.
"Ding!"
Another blow, the eldest prince's heavy sword slashed, and slashed down on the top of the second prince's head with the momentum of the mountain.
Such a fatal move immediately shocked everyone present to exclaim.
Nishizawa clenched his fists, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, both of them were sons, and the eldest son was clearly going to kill people in this way.
The second prince was directly crushed by this huge force and knelt down, and his face was gradually soaked with sweat.
Gritting his teeth, he wanted to drag up the mountain that had been pressed down, but his own strength was insufficient, and the heavy sword of the great prince approached his shoulder little by little, and the thin sword in his hand was almost unable to withstand the force.
How good is that?
This scene is worrying, the second prince never thought that the imperial brother who lost to him last time would hide this hand, which caught him off guard.
"Second brother, don't you still admit defeat?"
Looking at the struggling Xi Chu, Xi Qin gradually showed a hideous smile on his face and persuaded.
Seeing that the eldest prince was about to win, Chen Hua also had a smile on his face.
To make you proud, on the stands, Xiao Yu secretly took out a rag doll, on which was pasted with the eight characters of the birthday of the aging.
Then he took out a silver needle and stabbed it at the villain.
"Huh?"
In the somewhat depressed stands of Zhu Guotai, there was a sudden sound of doubt.
Immediately after that, Chen Hua's eyes were suddenly bloodshot, the green tendons on his face burst out, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down, obviously suffering a great deal of pain.
Such an abnormal move just alarmed Nishizawa, who was focused on the competition on Zhu Guotai.
Xi Ze looked back at Chen Hua suspiciously, puzzled, "Chen Aiqing is unwell?"
"Die!"
Which one of the old ones suddenly screamed, and the internal force in his body was everywhere, and then he drew the sword on his waist and stabbed at Nishizawa.
"Ah~"
"Escort, escort!"
With the sudden shout of the minister, everyone who had just focused their attention on the two princes looked at Nishizawa one after another.
Suddenly, the scene was chaotic.
"Ahh ”
"General, stop!"
“......”
Screams came and went.
The moment Chen Hua stabbed Nishizawa with a sword, it was a blow with all his might, and the distance between the two was less than a few feet, such a short distance, even if Nishizawa was a martial artist, it was impossible for him to avoid this sword.
When it was too late, I saw a white shadow flash, and when the tip of the sword was less than an inch away from Nishizawa's chest, it was suddenly caught by two white and slender jade fingers.
The sword was sharp, and in an instant, it cut the blood out of the two fingers of Qing Yue, but that's all, the sword stopped.
"Jump!"
After Qing Yue clamped the sword body, he folded his hand hard, and directly broke the aged sword into two.
That's not all, Qing Yue didn't care about the injury on his hand, and raised his palm to slash at Chen Hua.
"Bang!"
This palm seemed to be revenge for the sword at the beginning of the month, and slapped Chen Hua out of the air, until Chen Hua's body jumped over the stands and fell down.
It all happened so fast, and it was just a matter of breath. Waiting for the escort regiment to control Chen Hua, Nishizawa came back to his senses.
"Thank you, National Teacher!"
"Chu'er, give me your hand quickly. ”
Xiao Yu took a step forward and picked up Qing Yue's hand to see that the two fingers were cut out by the sword, and there were still beads of blood at this time.
This time, she didn't resist at the beginning of the month, and let Xiao Yu bandage her wounds.
Seeing the actions of these two people, Nishizawa was a little stupid, and then thought that Chen Hua dared to assassinate him in public, and he was immediately angry.
"Someone, put this rebel thief in the prison, and I will interrogate him personally. ”
"Father, please calm your anger, General Chen must be bewitched..."
Halfway through the conversation, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, at this time he should be wise to protect himself, and it was also because he panicked that he interceded for Chen Hua.
Before the eldest prince could finish pleading, Nishizawa became even more angry, what if Chen Hua is your right-hand man!
"Someone, take down the eldest prince and put him in the prison together. ”
“......”
This... This is not over, I only heard Xi Ze say again: "The eldest prince Xi Qin formed a party for personal gain, and colluded with Chen Hua, and must have nothing to do with the assassination. ”
All this came too suddenly, as if he had discussed it with Xiao Yu, and Nishizawa had already handled everything clearly.
"The father is wronged, the father is wronged, the son is wronged..."
After the others were escorted away, Xi Ze turned to Qing Yue again and said: "This son is too angry to be the king of a country, I don't know if the injury of the national teacher matters, I will pass on the imperial doctor." ”
"No need, it's just a small injury, as for the matter of Chen Hua and the eldest prince, Your Majesty can decide on it, and you don't need to ask my opinion. ”
After the beginning of the love month, Nishizawa looked down, the chaos just now has been temporarily resolved, but only the second prince with a confused face is now left on Zhu Guotai.
Nishizawa looked at him and announced lightly: "In this hunting competition, the second prince of Zhenguan has both civil and military skills, which can be of great use, and he will immediately serve as the commander of the three armies, go to the Western Regions, resist demon beasts, and defend the Western Kingdom; ”
"Thank you, Father. ”
The second prince, who thought that he had lost, couldn't think of the peak and turned around, and happily knelt down to accept the holy parable.
Xi Ze was so frightened, where did he still have the heart to pay attention to at this time, and after handing over the rest of the matter to Qin Yi and Cao Zhen, he returned to the palace.
It wasn't until this time that all the ministers suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong!
Especially those ministers who stood on the side of Zhang Song and Chen Hua, they also left others in a hurry.
Their only thought now is how to preserve themselves. It all came so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard.
After Xiao Yu helped Qingyue treat his wounds, he reproached slightly: "You are really, empty-handed white blade, do you think this is the cultivation realm, you don't know how to cherish yourself at all; ”
At the beginning of the month, she was a little embarrassed, opened her mouth, and finally turned into a sentence: "Just say one or two sentences, don't get an inch." ”
"Are you still reasonable? It's only been a few days, and you've been injured twice. ”
"I'll ignore you again!"
"Then I won't say anything..."
The two of them talked and went to the academy, and at this time a passage had passed, and now the second prince was sent to lead the troops to the Western Regions, and the eldest prince rebelled.
"This time Chen Hua must have been planted, before his general's mansion was copied, you have to get the talisman as soon as possible, and then secretly throw it to the eldest prince, and then help him get out of the prison. ”
"I know this, but don't you think Nishizawa is too good, do you?"
Qing Chu was puzzled.
Xiao Yu stepped forward and said with a faint smile: "What's so difficult about this, because of the Black Armor Army, Xi Ze has wanted to take back the military power for a long time, but he has never found a suitable excuse, and now that such a play is in front of him, how can he let it go." ”
"I see, you men are really playing one trick after another, and none of them are worry-free. ”
Xiao Yu was speechless, rolled his eyes and said, "Chu'er, don't remove yourself, okay, all of this was designed by you, and Xi Ze and I are just a chess piece under your hands." ”
"Really, but I didn't think it was so complicated, you can just see through it, but Nishizawa is not in my plan. ”
"This is the emperor, what he thinks and does, often three steps faster than others, three steps more, as long as it is beneficial to him, he can be happy to see it, and he can also take advantage of the trend. But if it's not good for him, he can immediately turn his face and deny people, just like the eldest prince Xi Qin, Xi Qin is too ambitious, and he has already committed a big taboo by wooing Zhang Song and Chen Hua, do you think Xi Ze can endure it? You know, he is less than fifty years old, and it can be said that he is in the prime of life. ”
As soon as the two arrived at the gate of the academy, they saw a carriage parked there, and looked at the emblem on the carriage, which should be Cao Zhen's car.
Sure enough, when the two of them approached, a person slowly got down from the carriage, it was Cao Zhen.
"Cao Zhen has seen the national teacher, Cao Zhen came here this time to thank the heavenly master for the prescription, my wife used the prescription given by the heavenly master, and now she can get out of bed and move a little. ”
Speaking of this, Cao Zhen's face couldn't hide his joy.
Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "This is the best, so I don't know how Cao Shangshu thinks about it now?"
Speaking of business, Cao Zhen put away his joy and said with a serious face: "I can't imagine that the Heavenly Master has such a means, Chen Hua has controlled the court for many years, and the relationship is complicated, if you want to eradicate the root in one fell swoop, I'm afraid it's not easy, one less Chenhua, and the second one, I..."
Before he could continue, Qing Yue stopped him: "Then you can do the second aging." ”
"National teacher, this..."
"The road has been paved for you, it's up to you to have the courage to go on. If you can't handle those ministers, it's just that you're incompetent. But don't worry, I can still say a word or two from Xiaoxi, and now you can rest assured?"
When Cao Zhen heard this, he hurriedly bent down and saluted: "Thank you for the support of the National Teacher, Cao Zhen will definitely live up to his expectations." ”
"Oh yes, the old general's mansion may be raided, I hope you go in person. ”
"Xia Guan understood. ”
After entering the academy, Xiao Yu said, "Do you want him to make this contribution?"
"It's just a boat that goes down the river, and when the time comes, when I go to get the talisman, in case I am discovered, an acquaintance is easy to talk to. ”
"What if Nishizawa doesn't see the talisman and condemn him?"
"What's the matter with me? I only care about the outcome. ”
You're so ruthless!
Oh, woman, Xiao Yu sighed again and again.
There is still half a month before the second prince's expedition, and the Black Armor Army is still far away in the north, so I don't know if it's too late?
In case the second prince can't stop the pace of the demon beast, and Nishizawa wants to transfer the black armor army to support, then wouldn't everything be in vain?
