The pilgrimage begins.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

On Fengtianmen Square, nearly 1,000 officials bowed down.

This time, Li Ran was already very skilled, and he didn't need to be reminded by Ma Wenjie behind him, as soon as his knees were weak, he knelt down.

"Zhong Aiqing, let's get flat. The empress's voice was soft, but it was clear to the ears of everyone present.

"Today, all the ministers of Xuangong held a court meeting, which is precisely for the martial arts elite conference in three days. The empress looked at Liu Liang, the big eunuch on the side: "Announce it." ”

Liu Liang held the holy decree in his hand and said in a loud voice: "Xuan Xie Huan, Wu Kun, Chen Feng, and Li Huan stepped forward." ”

Four people were out of the ranks.

"I am the vanguard of this martial arts conference, and I am the vanguard of the martial arts superintendent, and I am the seven-rank warrior of the martial arts superintendent, and Wanger and others are fighting hard to fight for the glory of the country. Liu Liang said loudly.

"Obey. The four of them replied in unison.

"This martial arts conference, in accordance with the old system of wheel formations set by our dynasty, you and other four pioneers, led by twenty alternate elites, against Dongying, Mobei Timur Khanate, Goryeo, the martial arts elites of the Three Kingdoms, now start drawing lots to select your opponent in the first formation!"

Liu Liang waved his hand, and more than a dozen eunuchs lined up in a row, holding a brocade box in their hands, and this battle was similar to the worship of the gods the day before yesterday.

"The first one, Li Huan!"

Liu Liang glanced meaningfully at Li Huan, who was standing at the end.

Of course, only two people in the audience understood this look.

Off the field, Li Ran also stared at Li Huan intently, only hoping that this kid could get back to the trick and not drop the chain.

Li Huan's expression was solemn, and he came to the brocade box that was the first in the row, numbered "One", he took a deep breath and stretched out his hand, as if he was eager to try......

However, his hand hung in the air, and he did not reach into the brocade box.

At this moment, Li Ran and Liu Liang both looked nervous.

"It's really mud that can't hold up the wall, pig teammates. Li Ran secretly complained in his heart.

"Warrior Li, do you have to be so selective in drawing lot......s? Do you already know the mystery in the box?" A mysterious voice came, it was the eldest princess standing next to the empress, the heir of the crown prince in the eyes of hundreds of officials, Xiao Lingqiu.

Hearing this, Li Huan's body trembled, and he was in a cold sweat!

I think he went to the Shengwu Academy at the age of five, and he didn't know anything about the world of the court, where had he ever seen such a battle! At this time, when he saw the princess of the dynasty asking a question, his little face turned red with anxiety, and he was completely at a loss.

"This woman's mouth is really cheap. ”

Li Ran scolded secretly in his heart, but he was helpless, it was inconvenient for him to stand up on such a big occasion, not to mention that the other party was the princess of the dynasty!

At this time, on the north side of the square, Li Daoguang, the young secretary of Dali Temple, was also worried, and his old face was full of cold sweat.

Not only him, but even Liu Liang, the general manager of the East Factory, gritted his teeth and looked quite nervous.

At this moment, Li Ran figured out some other things.

This Xiao Lingqiu came out to scold Li Huan, it should not just be for him, but specifically for Liu Liang!

Yes, after Zhou Yuan died at the hands of the Demon Bird, one of the four pioneers was vacant, presumably the two groups behind the eldest princess and the second princess had already competed for this place.

And the reason why the empress finally took the recommendation of Liu Liang and others and hired Li Huan was to eliminate disputes and balance the situation, and on the other hand, it was likely that she also intended to cultivate their Li family!

Damn, it's really not good to be too smart.

The more you see it, the greater the pressure in your heart, Lao Tzu obviously just wants to be a salted fish, your empress is doing it now, do you want me to put Xiao Wan'er's girl on the throne?

Li Ran smiled bitterly in his heart. Looking at the current form, he doesn't expect his younger brother, who is not angry, to draw the No. 3 brocade box, if he can quickly draw one and leave, he will be Amitabha.

"Warrior Li, why are you stunned? Could it be...... It was really said by this palace, can you guess the answer in the brocade box?" Xiao Lingqiu seemed to have a ridiculous tone, but his eyes burst out with a sharp light.

When Li Huan heard this, he finally came to his senses, gritted his teeth and said, "I...... I don't, I don't know. ”

This was the first time in his life that he lied, and his ears were suddenly red, and his palms were sweating.

Xiao Lingqiu sneered, and wanted to say more, when a cold voice came: "Sister Qiu, I see that you scared Li Wushi, after all, he is only fifteen years old, and the lottery results in this brocade box are jointly supervised and set up by the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple, and Honglu Temple, who can know the results in advance?"

The officials looked up one after another, and it was the second princess Xiao Qingxue who spoke!

Among the current dynasty, only this second princess, who has made brilliant achievements and has just returned to the dynasty in triumph, dares to compete with the recognized heir of the crown prince!

Li Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, this sentence is once again perfectly confirmed.

Xiao Lingqiu said expressionlessly: "That's hard to say, for example, our Dongchang secret agents under Manager Liu are very good at collecting intelligence, a small brocade box is just a piece of cake, what do you say, Manager Liu?"

Liu Liang hurriedly smiled and said: "The eldest princess said that she was joking, such a major event in the court, the servants categorically did not dare to interfere. ”

Seeing the two sides arguing, Li Huan was at a loss, and the scene was extremely embarrassing, and then a crisp and lazy voice came slowly:

"Oh, Mother Emperor, you tell the eldest sister and the second sister to stop arguing, so many princes and ministers are still waiting, really, they are all so naïve at an age, and they don't let me worry at all, hey!"

Xiao Wan'er on the side shook her head, looking like she hated iron but not steel.

These words came out of the mouth of this nonsense and famous little demon king, it was full of drama, if it weren't for the strict rules of the court, I am afraid that someone in the audience would have been happy.

"Little girl is okay, I finally didn't help you save Xiao Hei in vain. ”

Li Ran couldn't cry or laugh.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is also expected.

This Xiao Wan'er must have hated Xiao Lingqiu for worshipping the gods the day before yesterday, so she came to scold her, not for her own face, not to mention that this girl didn't know about Li Huan's relationship with him at all.

However, looking at the audience, in addition to the empress, I am afraid that only she, a super-stirring stick, dared to participate in the battle between these two powerful princesses so rudely.

"Alright, alright, don't make any noise. ”

On the high dragon throne, Empress Xuanyue finally spoke, but due to the existence of the curtain, she couldn't see the joy and anger on her face, "You two are sisters, no one knows anything about it this time-"

"Yes. Xiao Wan'er yawned and echoed casually.

The empress paused, and said in a gentle tone: "The second child of the Li family, you go ahead and draw lots, the words of the eldest princess are just jokes, you don't have to go to your heart, and you don't need to be afraid, lest your father and brother worry below." ”

When the empress spoke, Li Huan looked frightened and was stunned for a long time before she said, "Yes...... Your Majesty. ”

Then, he closed his eyes, his chest heaving violently from the strained breathing, as if he was making some difficult decision.

A second later, he moved his footsteps, left the first box, walked straight to the third, reached inside, and pulled out a note!

"The results of the draw are out, I am facing the pioneer Li Huan, against the princess of Goryeo, Lee so-yeon!"

Liu Liang rushed up with an arrow step and read towards the audience!

"The children can be taught. Offstage, a big stone in Li Ran's heart finally landed.

The script has finally entered the normal track......
