On the way back to the princess's mansion in the carriage, the heavy news that he was going to participate in the royal martial arts arena immediately spread wildly in the major groups of the royal capital, and for a while, the entire royal capital was surging, and countless people were discussing this matter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As a party to the life and death situation, Li Xiao fell asleep after returning to the palace of the princess of Huguo, until the next morning, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the door, which was mixed with a person's anxious shout, "Cousin! Cousin! Open the door quickly! I am Chen Feng! Cousin ......"

"Chen Feng?" Li Xiao got up and got out of bed in a daze, he was stunned when he heard the sound outside the door, and a cousin Chen Feng dressed as a Confucian in Tsing Yi and with a graceful demeanor immediately appeared in his head, he is the princess of the country, that is, the only son of his own aunt, who usually accepts strict family rules and has a somewhat old-fashioned personality.

Opening the door, Li Xiao rubbed his worried eyes, turned back to the tea table and poured a glass of water to rinse his mouth, and looked at Chen Feng with an unhappy expression, "Cousin! It's early in the morning, what's the matter with being so anxious to find me?"

Chen Feng was dressed in a white brocade robe, with black hair tied with a silver crown, and a handsome face, just like a handsome boy.

"I ...... I ......" he panted like a cow, and kept wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead with his long sleeves, "Cousin, I went out to the academy in the morning, and on the way I heard that you were going to break into the martial arts arena to live and die......?" Is it true?"

"yes, what's wrong?" Li Xiao said quietly as he sipped his tea.

"Something so big happened, you weren't in a hurry at all?" Chen Feng said in amazement.

"Don't you need to challenge if you're in a hurry?"

"Uh......" Chen Feng was dumbfounded, "Okay, then are you ready to choose the candidates?" According to the rules of life and death, the person who challenges can bring four guards, and now the strongest mother and sister in our house are all guests in the Gujian Gate, only Steward Zhou, whose strength is close to the peak of the fifth grade, and those first- and second-grade guards, these forces are far from enough to protect you from victory, or you should go out and hide and come back when the wind passes?"

"It's okay, I'm ready to choose the candidates!" Li Xiao said confidently, the four old men he brought back were all extremely powerful masters, although their strength plummeted, but there must still be a lot of secret methods for self-preservation.

Tell Chen Feng about the four old men, omit the matter of cooperation, and say that the four old men want to accept themselves as apprentices and stay in the mansion for the time being, and they will also participate in the martial arts life and death match.

"In this way, in this way, according to the average strength of the five of you, the difficulty of life and death should not be great. Chen Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the news.

"Alright! Don't worry about me. Li Xiao got up and patted Chen Feng on the shoulder, strode to the hanger and dressed under the maid's service, and said: "Cousin, we won this time, you immediately go to the account to get some silver to bet, this is a great opportunity to make money!"

"That's right! I almost forgot about it! The news of your participation in the life and death pass has long been spread in the capital, and the odds of the gambling house must be very high, after all, everyone is not stupid, knowing that you are doomed to fail, they will naturally take money to bet, haha! This time you have made a fortune!" Chen Feng was overjoyed, cheered and turned his head and went straight to the tent.

The Second Prince's Mansion, in the pavilion in the back garden.

"I don't think this Li Xiao's life is really big, if it weren't for the fire in the prison last night, he wouldn't have lived to this day. Wu Zhengyi sat in front of the stone table and said angrily at the man in green shirt.

"That's fine. The man in the green shirt took a sip of hot tea and said: "Fortunately, last night's fire kept him alive, otherwise he wouldn't have heard the good news that he was going to break through the life and death in the martial arts arena today, you immediately take 100,000 taels of silver to press Li Xiao to win, this God-given opportunity to make money, we can't let it go!"

"All pressure Li Xiao, sir, are you mistaken?" said the second prince in amazement.

"That's right, Your Highness doesn't know, the four old men around Li Xiao are not ordinary people, and I was like ants in front of them during my total victory, although their strength is now less than one ten-thousandth of what they used to be, but after all, they were once masters, and with their protection, I believe that it should not be difficult for Li Xiao to pass the life and death barrier. ”

"What! is there such a thing?" Wu Zhengyi looked shocked, and his heart began to feel worried.

As if he saw the second prince's concern, the man in the green shirt smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, if necessary, I will ask the seniors in the door to help." ”

......

Two days later.

If a square carpet is spread on the side of Xuanwu Avenue, at this time, in front of the martial arts arena, countless people who came to watch the challenge match of Wang Du Su Li Xiao gathered densely in front of the martial arts arena, and this sensational event attracted countless dignitaries and nobles to watch the battle, and even Her Majesty the Empress came in person.

In the most imperial tent of the observation deck of the martial arts arena, Zhao Jianfeng, who was wearing a python suit, held a horn in his hand and excitedly asked the old woman in the imperial robe with thinning hair and smirking with her teeth: "Your Majesty, have you bought the bet?"

"Bought it! I've already put all the money we made up on Li Xiao! Hehe! I've made a fortune this time!" the old woman's eyes flashed with golden light, and she looked down excitedly at the stack of betting notes in her hand, her face full of happy smiles.

"Your Majesty, you are so smart!" Zhao Jianfeng kissed the old woman violently, "Look! Li Xiao's little bastard is out!" After speaking, he hurriedly turned his head sideways and urged the eunuch behind him: "Hurry up, pull up the banner!"

Several eunuchs immediately bent down to pick up a pile of red cloth on the ground, took two wooden sticks and waved them with Zhao Jianfeng, and shouted loudly: "Li Xiao! Look here! Look here!"

Li Xiao wore a white brocade robe, holding a jade fan and walked out of the side door of the martial arts arena in a graceful manner, and saw Zhao Jianfeng leading a group of eunuchs waving a flag at him, and immediately waved his hand in response, when he saw a few golden characters written on the flag, his face turned green, and the banner read: "Li Xiao! If you lose, my daughter will marry you!"

"I ......" Li Xiao grinned at Zhao Jianfeng, but he was muttering in his heart: "It is worthy of His Majesty's husband, he has a good calculation, if I win, they will have a large amount of property in the account, if they lose, they have to marry the daughter of their girl and man, marrying her is equivalent to marrying a strong man to go home, or the kind with particularly strong hair." ”

In the center of the martial arts arena, there was a girl and a middle-aged man standing on the huge rectangular arena, among which the girl wore a white patterned long skirt, and her black hair was combed from the middle to both sides to the back of her head and hung down on her shoulders.

The middle-aged man beside her was dressed in a four-clawed yellow robe, wearing a jade crown, black hair and a shawl, and his sword eyebrows and starry eyes were quite handsome, but the two yellow rabbit teeth exposed outside his lips completely betrayed his handsome appearance.

"They're coming! Heroic interlocutors! Let's welcome them with warm applause!" The girl in the white dress said with a smile on her face when she saw Li Xiao, Xi Poison, Nan Di, Hong Qi, and Xu Yaoshi walking on the arena one after another.

Her words immediately caused enthusiastic cheers from the audience, and a group of girls near the arena screamed and rushed to the stage to surround Li Xiaotuan, and affectionately competed to hug them to feed the peeled fruits and put on a circle of bright garlands.

However, before the four of them could walk over, hundreds of men from the stands on the other side quickly surrounded them and kissed and grabbed them enthusiastically.

After the two groups of crowds dispersed, the audience in the arena quieted down quite tacitly, and the white-clothed girl on the stage smiled happily, and introduced herself to Li Xiao and the five people: "Heroic challenger, I am the Lord of Baihua County of the Great Qin Empire...... Speaking of this, the middle-aged man with rabbit teeth beside him suddenly stretched his neck and said softly and quickly: "I am the Prince of Great Qin!" After speaking, the girl in the white dress returned to a serious appearance at the moment when she looked at her angrily sideways, as if he had been standing there and had never done anything.

Retracting her gaze, the girl in the white dress continued: "Heroic interlocutor, I am Wu Xuan'er, the lord of Baihua County, this one by my side is my father, we welcome you on behalf of the royal martial arts arena, and I will hold several tests to prove whether you are qualified to participate in the level, first ......"

As she was talking, the prince beside her stretched his neck again and quickly introduced himself to Li Xiao and the others: "I am the prince!" and then when his daughter's words were interrupted and he looked back angrily, he quickly became serious and looked at his daughter in confusion.

The Lord of Baihua glared at his father unhappily, looked straight ahead and said: "First of all, the first test is to be honest and risky, before you ......" The voice stopped abruptly, and the prince next to him stretched his neck again and was slapped out of the arena by the Lord of Baihua before he could speak, and fell under the stage and knocked down a group of guards.

"Hmph, do you think I'm going to let you interrupt three times in a row!" The Lord of Baihua County snorted coldly, his eyes fell on Li Xiao and the others who were stammering, his expression softened, and he smiled: "The first round is called Honest Adventure, you were fed the 'True Heart Fruit' by the maids and maids on the stage before, and the effect of the medicine is almost starting to kick in, so I will ask you questions one by one, and you will answer your own heart." ”

"Okay, the first one is you!" "The Lord of Baihua walked to the West Poison and smiled kindly: "Uncle, what's your name?"

"My big name is Xi Poison, my small name is Niu Niu, and my milk name is Macho Man. West Poison looked at the county lord in confusion, and blurted out the words.

The Lord of Baihua County glanced at Xi Poison in surprise, narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you think I look like?"

"It's beautiful, so beautiful that I want to kick you off with my toes. ”

The blue tendons on the forehead of the Baihua County Lord burst out, and he resisted the urge to beat people, and tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "There are some rules you should understand, right? Tell me, how much money did you bring with you this time?"

"I never bring money when I go out, and even if I do, I will put it on others!"

"What are you going to do if you don't have money!Don't you know the rules of breaking through?" The Baihua County Lord's face changed suddenly, he grabbed the clothes of the West Poison and threw it out violently, "Damn old bastard! Waste so many lovely smiles of the county lord, and dare to say that he wants to kick me away!" ”

Coming to this conclusion, the county lord of Baihua gritted his teeth and said, "Damn old bastard ate me so much money!" Facing the soldiers in the audience, she ordered: "Throw this old guy into the prison of the Criminal Department!" After saying that, she suddenly thought of something, and then said to the soldiers who did it: "Wait!" After a pause, she looked at the West Poison slyly and said with a smile: "Uncle, I'll give you another chance, do you have something to say?"

"I'm going to fill the stateroom for male prisoners!" said West Poison excitedly.

"Drag it on!" said the Lord of Baihua with a sinister face.

Looking sideways at Hong Qi, who was stunned, he was startled, and hurriedly stepped back and said in horror: "I...... I...... I'm also going to have a stateroom full of male prisoners, preferably with a super double bed!"

"Hmph!" The Lord of Baihua County stared at Hong Qi with an unkind face, "You want to enter the cell so much, don't you?

"Don't! I have something to say! I have something to say!" Hong Qi struggled.

"What are you going to say?" the Lord of Baihua raised his eyebrows and motioned for the guards to stop.

"I can...... I can ......" Hong Qi sweated like rain, gritted his teeth and tried his best to restrain the sincere words that wanted to come out, and finally turned red and yelled: "Lord County, I can ...... Do you want to go to a stateroom full of male prisoners?"
