On 15 April, the competition was held as scheduled, and the Praetorian Guard dispatched 5,000 men to surround the entire Jiantai watchtower, while the city defense was responsible for patrolling the surrounding public security.

Because the place chosen by the princess is surrounded by buildings on three sides, only an alley on the east side is connected to the main street, and the city guards have already been deployed at the entrance of the street, and those who enter must be searched, and they cannot carry any weapons, blades and other objects, and there are no special requirements for identity. Because the test was set at three o'clock, just after the hour, there was a long queue of people at the corner of the street, all wanting to see the style of the prince and the face of the princess of a foreign country. Due to the limitation of the venue, the back of the queue naturally failed to take the opportunity to enter, so they had to stay in various places at the street entrance, or stand or sit, refusing to leave, waiting for the results after the competition. The 200 or so people who were lucky enough to enter the arena to watch the battle were separated by a wall of guards in the middle, and they were far away from the sword platform, so they could only take a rough look from a distance, but even so, everyone showed a look of excitement and anticipation on their faces, waiting for the start of the competition.

When Emperor Yi ascended to the north to watch the building in the special passage, the audience immediately quieted down, because Princess Gaoyi was a challenge book under the covenant of the rivers and lakes, and Emperor Yi did not require the ceremony between the two countries, so it saved the royal set of cumbersome ceremonies, and after a few moments, Nie Bei announced the official start of the competition under the signal of Emperor Yi.

When the two of them slowly approached the center of the sword platform from one north and one south, the three hundred pairs of eyes upstairs froze in a radius of a few feet in the center of the sword platform.......

The observation platform where the county lord and Yue Rong'er are located is on the right side of Emperor Yi, only one board away from Emperor Yi, and King Lin's right is just one left and one right symmetrical on both sides of Emperor Yi, and the rest of the viewing platform of the princes and ministers is surrounded by the center, which happens to cover three sides of the stand.

The county lord thinly applied grease powder, combed a popular fallen horse bun, a string of gold silk eight treasures and beads in the ring bun, hung a hundred birds and phoenix beads, wore a green jade ring, a goose yellow Luo shirt, covered with a colorful carved silk deerskin thin coat, a phoenix crown and a xia veil, radiant, obviously deliberately dressed up. But on the other hand, Yuerong'er, plain green clothes, no beads and jade decorations, only a camellia was inserted obliquely on the sideburns, which lined her complexion and fragrant jade, slender waist, if the wind and snow danced, a smile and a smile, making people forget the vulgar dust. Between the complex and simple, like green trees and red flowers, it seems to be very harmonious into the scene. Looking at the young son of the family upstairs, many burning eyes were cast on the two of them for a while, but he was unwilling to let go of the two protagonists on the sword platform, and he couldn't wait to have a few more eyes, so as not to miss the good scene in front of him.

King Lin is also looking this way at the moment, although he has a faint smile on his face, but the color of his eyes is extremely complicated, there is hatred, envy, and extremely strong primitive desire, especially when he turns his gaze to Yuerong's child, the naked greed that devours everything like a beast when he sees the fat mouth is even more revealed.

Just as he was looking at the two daughters of the Bai family wantonly, he didn't notice that two lines of sight were also tightly locked on him. Nie Bei stood beside Emperor Yi, and after announcing the competition, his eyes did not leave King Lin, and the prince sat quietly at the head of Emperor Yi, looking at the two people in the sword platform .......

Bai Guang was dressed in a white robe, his long hair was only tied with a silver hairband, floating casually on the back of his head and shoulders, the white robe was surrounded by a stone blue ribbon around his waist, and a pair of black silk soft shoes were placed under his feet, just this simple to the extreme outfit brought an extremely shocking dazzling effect, he stood with his sword down, and looked directly at the ...... of Princess Gao Li opposite.

"That's the mighty princess," whispered somebody, "if she's a lovely woman, and you think that the barbaric land is full of vulgar people......

"What do you know?" the person next to him immediately retorted, "Although it is said that what water and soil raise people, but whether women are beautiful or not, most of them are determined from the mother's womb, and besides, people are raised in the palace, how can it be a bad and vulgar place?"

The person who spoke before was speechless for a while, and someone next to him took over, "Isn't it, this kind of woman is raised in the countryside, and she is really a great beauty!"

"She must have taken a fancy to the son, and she competed with the sword just to let the prince see her true face......"

"Did you say the prince would like her?......"

"You're stupid, isn't Shizi a man?!"

"Don't you see that the son of the world is about to be crushed by the eyes of those girls? He is so talented, there are more women who like him, why are you so sure?"

"Is the princess an ordinary woman? Have you seen a few women in the world who are so good-looking? How could the prince not like it? If I were to choose, I would only have to have a spring dinner with her, and even if I died immediately, I would be willing to do my best......

"You dog...... Shut up! If you listen to someone, how many lives do you have to hack?"

......。

There was a whisper in the audience, and a buzzing sound swept through the entire sword platform, and Princess Gao Li hugged the long sword and looked at the white light with a light smile. The short hair on her head was all braided, and the yellow silk ended, and all the hair was braided into a big braid, black and shiny. Her muscles and bones are smooth, her skin is as white as snow, the bridge of her nose is higher than that of Dayi women, and her eye sockets are deeper than those of Dayi women, but not only do these not have the slightest sense of disobedience, but they give her a sense of depth that is rare for ordinary women, coupled with her tall and concave figure, people can't take their eyes off it at all.

"I have heard the name of the prince for a long time, and I can see it today, fortunately, fortunately!" Princess Gao Li's lips opened lightly, and the first sentence she said was often very direct.

"Princess, please!" Bai Guang lowered his head and clenched his fists, not wanting to say more nonsense.

"Sure enough, it's a stuffy gourd," the princess chuckled again and again, "but the prince must not underestimate the enemy, since it is a covenant of life and death, the little woman will never show mercy!"

Before he could say a word, the long sword in his hand suddenly rose, and the sword swept away with the wind towards the white light, and in an instant, seven swords were attacked one after another. Bai Guang didn't expect her to say that she would do it, and she was forced to retreat a few steps before she was caught off guard, but when she saw that her sword was like lightning, her moves were ruthless, and her body shape and footwork were actually instructed by a famous teacher, she put away her contempt and concentrated on the ...... of the battle.

The princess is wearing a two-color gold butterfly wearing a big red arrow sleeve, at this time the two have already come and I are fighting in one place, only to see the white and red figures in the field flashing and moving, one white shadow entangled with the red shadow, and the other red shadow surrounded the white shadow, lively and extraordinary. Seeing that everyone in the audience was dazzled and addicted, everyone never expected that this delicate and powerful princess would have such good skills.

Emperor Yi was also very surprised, his body that was still loose just now tensed, and he leaned down with great interest to take a closer look. Nie Bei looked at the two people fighting in the sword platform, his white brows gradually frowned, and his face was puzzled.

Wu Yi shuttled back and forth between the various viewing platforms, he was ordered by the on-site patrol to release the confinement, the "imperial order" is in his body, naturally he does not dare to slack off, although he likes to watch the excitement, the fighting competition on the sword platform is indeed lively enough, but he is not very interested in this kind of excitement without suspense, so he doesn't feel that it is a chore to wear around the viewing platform.

"Do you need to be so nervous?" Wu Yi had already rushed to the viewing platform where Bai Susu and Yue Rong'er were at this time, and saw Yue Rong'er staring nervously at the field, and teased her, "Are you afraid that your son-in-law will lose?...... Or are you afraid that your heart will be stolen?"

Yue Rong'er put her hands on the railing of the viewing platform, and looked at the sword platform below with her hand pillow, I don't know if I didn't hear him or didn't know how to answer him, anyway, I just didn't pay attention to him. After Bai Susu got up and gave King Kang a salute, he looked at the ...... below with empty eyes.

"Hey, this king is talking to you, how can you be so rude?" Wu Yi was bored, naturally refused to stop there, his eyes rolled around, he had an idea in his heart, walked to Yue Rong'er's side, and said with a smile, "Look, the princess is born well, and the sword dance is also good-looking, your son-in-law has an interest in her, tsk, what kind of life and death covenant is this, it is clearly Lang Qing's concubine Yijian appeals!"

Seeing Wu Yi say this, and then looked closely, he gradually felt that what he said was not false, but although the two of them in the field were fighting very lively, but every time Princess Gao Li glanced at the white light, Yue Rong'er felt that she was in deep love, and Wu Yi was constantly fanning the flames beside her, so she was upset, but he was a prince, and he couldn't help him, so he had to stare at him hatefully, and then buried his head in his hands and simply stopped looking at the two people in the field.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved his eyes away from the field, he heard the exclamation of "Ah!" in the field, and then the scene became noisy, Yue Rong'er's heart tightened, and she hurriedly raised her head, and found that the sword platform below was empty, so she looked around, and after looking for a while, she found that Bai Guang and Princess Gao Li had gone up to the west to see the building at some point, and Wu Yi had already disappeared at this time. Bai Susu was also at a loss to know what was going on, the two women seemed a little at a loss for a while, or Yue Rong'er reacted first, and suggested that the county lord go to the west to see if Bai Guang was injured, and when he was about to get up and go, Nie Bei's old and loud voice resounded throughout the audience, "The emperor has decreed, assassins are found in the field, please be led by the guards to leave the scene and return home immediately, without delay!"

After everyone dispersed, Emperor Yi also drove back to the palace from the special channel, Nie Bei accompanied Emperor Yi with him, and specially ordered the deputy commander Liu Yuanpan to assist Bai Guang to escort the assassins and related implicated personnel, Bai Guang wanted to go alone, but Princess Gao Li insisted on entering the palace together, and the emperor did not have a holy decree to let her enter the palace, not to mention that she was also involved in the matter and it was not easy to refuse, at the moment the two walked all the way, Bai Guang was silent, the princess wanted to take the initiative to provoke the conversation and chat, but Bai Guang did not answer, so she had to do it, but she did not displeasure, along the way just smiled and secretly looked at Bai Guang, Bai Guang only did not know, and entered the palace without saying anything all the way。

Because the assassin was caught on the spot, Emperor Yi did not issue an order to cordon off the scene, and everyone returned to their homes full of suspicions, not knowing what had happened. But King Lin was different, although he didn't know the specific plan of the floating soul, but he knew that the assassin must be arranged by him, and King Lin, who was very uneasy, left Chunlanfang and went directly to the palace to see Concubine Yue.

"What did you say, caught it?" Yue Guifei bounced up from the sandalwood chair and said in a lost voice, "How can this be?"

"Erchen doesn't know," Wu Ye took a sip of the spring tea offered by Xinbi beside him, stabilized his mind and continued, "Erchen has been staring at the field, and he didn't find anything unusual, Princess Gaoli's swordsmanship is surprisingly good, and the two of them fought very fiercely. At first, it seemed difficult to separate the two of them, but gradually the white light prevailed, and after a stormy attack, the princess was forced to the west near the watchtower...... At this time, the cold light was highlighted, and the princess put on a pair of soft gold gloves on her hand at some point, and actually took the hidden weapon down. And the white light ...... He, but he went up to the west to watch the building, and lightning clasped the wrist of a person upstairs, who still had a hidden weapon in his hand, and it was the same as the princess's next ......"

"Waste, waste!" Concubine Yue's hand was about to be crushed by her, and she asked hatefully, "Who is that person?"

"Earl Cen's housekeeper ......"

"Do you mean Cen Shanjin?"

"Yes...... Mother. ”

"The Cen family is also the family of the emperor's scholarly succession, although in recent years, the idle family at home, the customs in Beijing are intertwined, and the family is also very rich and solid, but if this kind of thing is put on the stall, I am afraid that the good will not end, but fortunately, the concubine has no contact with him, so there is no need to worry too much. Concubine Yue couldn't help but sigh with relief.

"Having said that, after all, his housekeeper is a floating soul person, so the concubine doesn't worry about what he knows?"

"Do you think the floating soul is so stupid? The matter between him and the main palace will be known to one of his subordinates? Don't worry, it will be fine......"

Just when Concubine Yue and her son were talking secretly in Zhaochun Palace, Cen Shanjin and the housekeeper had been escorted to the Yangyuan Palace for a hearing. Although Emperor Yi asked Nie Bei to ensure the safety of Princess Gao Li before the competition, it was just to prevent accidents, and the probability of this accident was almost zero, Emperor Yi never thought that it would really appear, but now it has appeared, and Emperor Yi's anger in his heart can be imagined.

"Cen Shanjin, you are so bold!" Emperor Yi shouted angrily.

"Your Majesty......" The kneeling old man in the hall was over the age of six, his eyebrows were white, and his tall body was trembling, obviously completely struck by this kind of flying disaster, "The old minister didn't have it!"

"Nothing, they were all caught red-handed, there are all the human and material evidence, do you still want to deny it?" Emperor Yi shouted angrily again.

"Shifan, why do you want to harm the old man, the old man treats you well......" Cen Shan turned around and asked the housekeeper sharply, his eyes seemed to be about to spew fire, and then "Dong Dong Dong......" couldn't stop kowtowing to Emperor Yi, and shouted in a hissed voice, "Your Majesty...... The old minister really doesn't know, Your Majesty!"

The housekeeper called Shihuan is in his early thirties, and he is born with beautiful eyebrows, but he is full of ruthlessness. In order to prevent the attack on the king of Yangyuan Hall many years ago, Bai Guang personally chained his hands and feet with iron chains, and tightly tied him with thick hemp rope a few times, and stood quietly between him and Emperor Yi with his hands down.

"How are you going to prove your innocence?" Emperor Yi's voice became lower, but his tone was cold and piercing.

In the past 20 years, the old man has treated you like a son, is this your reward for the old man??!!" Cen Shanjin's voice was poignant, obviously angry and sad to the extreme.

"Great grace, I will repay ...... in the next life" Shi Huan looked at his master, his eyes were full of tears, but after a while, he turned around and decided, he looked at Emperor Yi on the dragon chair, and there was no fear in his eyes, "This matter was done by Shi Huan alone, and it has nothing to do with others!"

"It's a good one that has nothing to do with others!" Emperor Yi sneered, and then waved his hand, "Take it down, and put it in the prison of the Criminal Department first!"

After Cen Shanjin and Shihuan were escorted away, Emperor Yi turned his head to look to the right, and said to Princess Gao Li with a smile, "Thanks to you this time, although your country's treasures are innumerable, there are always difficulties, what reward do you want, although the Tao comes, as long as there is one, I will definitely satisfy you." ”

Princess Gao Li walked to the center of the hall, bowed and saluted and asked, "Emperor Dayi is all over the world, and he is full of words, and the little woman does have something to ask for, I don't know if she can get her wish?"

Princess Gao Li was talented and good-looking, and helped Bai Guang catch the assassin, and Emperor Yi had a good impression of her, but seeing that her temperament was really good, he added a little joy, so he squinted and smiled, "Oh, what do you want, you can tell me first." ”

"If His Majesty the Emperor doesn't agree first, it's inconvenient for the little woman to say it first. Princess Gao Li Qiubo looked forward to the circulation, and two red clouds flew out of her cheeks.

"This ......" Emperor Yi made a difficulty, you don't say what you want first, but you want me to agree first, the so-called king has no jokes, if your request is detrimental to the prestige of the country, do you have to respond to you, and I was silent for a while.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, although the little girl is not familiar with world affairs, she is not a person who is indiscriminate, and the requirements she makes naturally have nothing to do with state affairs, so His Majesty the Emperor does not need to worry about it. Princess Gao Li seemed to have guessed Emperor Yi's thoughts, and immediately dispelled his concerns.

"That's very good," Emperor Yi said with a smile and a dragon fight, "I will promise you whatever you want." ”

"I want him!" Princess Gao Li raised her left arm slightly, and her jade fingers pointed straight at the white light.

"I want him to ?...... What do you want from him?" Emperor Yi didn't react at once, a little stunned.

"I want him to be my Gao Li's attachment!" Princess Gao Li's directness made the ministers in the audience stir, how could Emperor Yi not understand this time, and when he heard the words, he turned his gaze to Bai Guang .......

Bai Guang had no choice but to walk to the center of the hall and stand side by side with Princess Gao Li, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, you can't do it...... Don't say yes!"

"How can you not do it, isn't this princess worthy of you?" Princess Gao Li raised her hand and gently swept the hair between her temples, her demeanor was as tender as water, but her words were extremely hot.

"It's not...... It's the ...... I'm not worthy of a princess. Bai Guang said softly.

"Since this princess is worthy of you, you are not wronged, as for whether you are worthy of this princess or not, it doesn't matter, this princess feels that if you are worthy, you must be worthy. Princess Gao Li said this, and then turned her head to look at Emperor Yi and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor ......"

The ministers in the audience were buzzing again, and the women in Dayi Country have been taught by books such as "Women's Training" and "The Biography of the Virtuous Woman" since they were young, and there are many norms for women's behavior. All the ministers were amazed in their hearts, and they felt that the wild land was worthy of teaching such an outrageous princess.

"Okay!" Emperor Yi raised his hand to stop Princess Gao Li, and said with a smile, "I can agree to your request, but my son can't go to your country to be an attached horse, but you have to marry to Dayi to be the princess, so as to marry with your relatives and cultivate the good of Qin and Jin forever, do you think it's okay?"

Dayi's current treasury is empty, the northern Yanxiong is eyeing the north, the king of Dingbei has not been cured, and the famine in the south has not been eliminated...... At this time, if you can use marriage to repair the relationship between stability and strength, and concentrate on dealing with Beiyan without worries, it will naturally have a hundred benefits and no harm. Moreover, this princess Wenhui is extremely favored by the monarch, and she is both talented and beautiful, and she is worthy of white light, and now it is the princess of the other family who has taken the initiative to propose, and the chips will naturally be more abundant in the future, how could Emperor Yi not agree.

Princess Wenhui only thought for a moment when she heard this, and then responded.

Bai Guang hurriedly changed his standing to kneeling, and bowed to Emperor Yi and said, "Your Majesty, how can the princess be married, let alone ...... Wechen is still young, and he hasn't thought about getting married yet......"

"Okay, what a little is small, I am as old as you, and I have already fallen under my knees. What a talented princess, if you are willing to marry, you should be happy. Emperor Yi did not allow Bai Guang to finish speaking, and clapped the dragon case with his hand, "It's so decided, when you report to your father and queen and then choose a day to get married, I think Brother Wang will not have any objections." After Emperor Yi finished speaking, he ordered the two to go down to the court, and then discussed other court affairs.

Out of the palace gate, Bai Guang went quickly, and just after a few steps, the voice of Princess Huiwen came from behind, "You wait............ Bai Guang heard the footsteps and didn't stop, and only cared about walking forward.

"Husband, wait......" She simply changed her name, although her voice was not as soft and sweet as Yuerong'er, but it was crisp and crisp, and it had a unique flavor in her ears, but the white light was not slow but fast, almost becoming a trot.

"Ouch......" There was a sad cry behind him, Bai Guang couldn't help but stop, the sound of humming behind him continued, Bai Guang turned around very unwillingly, after all, she was a princess, and now she was the princess who had not passed the door, and it was really hurtful to walk away.

"What's the injury?" Bai Guang stood still at the bottom of the steps, frowning at Princess Huiwen, who was already sitting on the steps.

"This ...... Over here...... Woo yo yo...... It hurts......" Princess Huiwen gasped and pointed to her left ankle, looking in pain.

"You rub it yourself, don't you know how to do it?" Bai Guang said softly, his tone was light, there was no displeasure, but there was definitely no anxiety or distress.

"I ...... I couldn't rub it, and it hurt a lot when I moved a little. She frowned slightly, the black bun on the top of her head was trembling slightly, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her face like fat and snow, which didn't look like a fake.

At this time, it was noon, the courtiers were still discussing matters in the palace, except for the guards who were far away from the surrounding guards, there was no one else on the steps that could not be seen at a glance, and the princess's entourage was outside the palace, except for herself, she really couldn't find a second person to correct her bones. In desperation, Bai Guang had to squat down and reach out to untie the ribbon on her trouser legs, because the two-color golden butterfly worn by the princess wore flowers and red arrows had ribbons on her hands and feet, and the closing place was just at the ankle position, and it was impossible to find out where the injury was if she didn't untie it.

The ribbon was untied, revealing the pale yellow silk softness inside, the slender calves were in full view, the white light took a deep breath, held some agitated thoughts, pressed her left hand on her ankle, and gently grabbed her calf and abdomen with her right hand, pulling and twisting, the action was swift and decisive, Princess Huiwen couldn't help but let out a low cry of "ah", the voice was not as loud as just now, but the trembling screamed that people were numb.

Bai Guang stood up, turned his back to her, wiped the sweat from his forehead without a trace, and said after a while, "You try to move and see if it is better." He still didn't look back, and his tone was as light as ever, but if you listened attentively, you would find that his voice was not as steady as usual.

"Huh...... It doesn't hurt much, you're amazing!" the princess's voice was brittle, like a string of gold beads falling on a jade plate, with heartfelt adoration.

Bai Guang didn't answer, and began to climb the stairs, just deliberately slowing down his pace, waiting for her to catch up.

He was distraught at the moment, and today's events were too sudden to be completely out of his control. Now that the mouth of the Holy Mouth has been opened, there is no room for any turning around. It is said that the princess is such a woman, and dreams are hard to find, and now she takes the initiative to give her arms, and she is afraid that she will faint with joy if she is replaced by others. But in Bai Guang's heart, there was a faint kind of resistance, which was so inexplicable, but so real.......

"Thank you!" Princess Huiwen was a long-martial artist after all, and she quickly returned to normal after being straightened.

"It's me who should say thank you. Bai Guang glanced at her obliquely, taking in her demeanor, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, feeling that her demure appearance was another scene, and the resistance in his heart couldn't help but be a little less, and his tone couldn't help but be gentler than just now, "If it weren't for you, how could you catch the assassin so easily." ”

"If you asked me to help you alone, why wouldn't I help......? How do you know someone is plotting against me?" she turned to look at him, stars in her eyes.

"I'm not sure, it's just a guess, I think the other party will not let go of this opportunity, and they will definitely make you a target when they know that they can't help me. You didn't believe it that day, but you still did what I said, and with your temperament, I thought you would probably be foolish before the competition. ”

"You're mine now...... cough, I'm not afraid to tell you, this princess really hasn't believed it, I don't believe that the other party has such a great ability to sneak into the building, I don't believe what you said that the other party will be in the west, who can even guess the direction? But I did it anyway, do you know why? Hehe, this princess just wants to confirm that your guess is wrong...... And then use this matter to stink you, see that you still dare to look down on everything and look down on people!"

Bai Guang but smiled silently, suddenly a spring breeze blew, blowing from her body curling the fragrance of musk, Bai Guang couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, and in a trance, her laughter came again, "You are really amazing...... Good martial arts, good medical skills, and handsome people, even the holes in my heart are a few more than others, who do you want me to like if I don't like you?"

Maybe I was infected by her frankness, maybe I felt that the wood was already in the boat, and no matter how much I put on a look of rejecting people thousands of miles away, it would be useless, so I couldn't help but squeeze my eyes and said with a smile, "The hole is mostly because you always eat lotus roots, and it's the same if you eat more!"

"Liar!" Princess Huiwen chuckled, raised her pink fist to beat Bai Guang, but heard Bai Guang say, "It's here!" Then she looked up, only to know that she really arrived at the door of Chonghua, and suddenly felt that the spring was short, and couldn't help but feel lost, the entourage had already greeted her from outside the door, put down the footstool, and when she got into the car, the horse whip sounded slowly, and the four-wheeled carriage covered by Zhu Yinghua rolled away, Princess Huiwen lifted the curtain, "I'll come over tonight......" The aftermath wafted in the melting spring breeze, like a pebble thrown into a pool of quiet spring water, causing ripples.
