"The river is green and bright, vast and balanced. At the end of the mountain, swaying Chu Yunxing. Ye Zuyin chanted four sentences in succession, but the sword in his hand was not slow at all, only to see the sword light dazzling, like Hou Yi shooting down the nine suns, dancing vigorously and agilely, just like the gods flying with dragons.

Everyone saw that his swordsmanship was exquisite, and the poems and words were extremely compatible with the sword intent and sword momentum, and they couldn't help but applaud loudly.

"The snow gathers the sand geese, and the flowers fly out of the valley warbler. Fangzhou has turned, and the green trees are welcome. But seeing that Ye Zuyin's long sword was dancing faster and faster, the sword light was like snow, and it shrouded his body.

"The smoke and sunset of the eyes of the pool, the sail of the sea and the moon. Gangneung knows the remote fire and should go to Nagisa Palace. At the end, Ye Zuyin's sword had just finished dancing, and with a chic sword collection style, the whole person was as calm as autumn leaves, but the garden especially reverberated with the echo of his sword qi and the sound of poetry.

The Queen Mother applauded happily, and a rare happy smile appeared on her kind face.

Yang Heng was even more delighted and shouted: "Good poetry, good swordsmanship, it really deserves to be the master of my Dajing Dynasty's Xuanwu list!"

After Ye Zuyin thanked the Queen Mother and the Emperor for their praise, he came to Yang Yuxin's banquet and bowed down and said, "Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang, in addition to the Empress Dowager, Ye Zuyin's sword dance is also dedicated to Your Royal Highness. I wish Her Royal Highness the princess eternal youth, and the past and the present are better than the past. ”

In the words, the meaning of showing love is already very obvious.

Yang Yuxin didn't expect Ye Zuyin to suddenly show her love like this, her face turned red all of a sudden, she raised her hand weakly, signaled Ye Zuyin to flatten her body, and then said: "Your sword dance and poetry are very good." Thank you Lord Ye for your blessings, this palace understands it. Please come back and sit down. ”

Although Yang Yuxin's words were praise, but most of them were polite, in fact, he didn't have much feeling in his heart, Ye Zuyin was a person who had been in the officialdom for many years, how could he not hear it, so his expression darkened, and he sat down in the banquet and drank a few glasses of stuffy wine.

Yang Heng saw Yang Yuxin's expression, and saw her repeatedly glancing at Duan Qianqiu, and he already knew it in his heart, so he smiled and comforted Ye Zu****: "Ye Qing's family, the sword and poetry are unique, this sword in the palm will be given to you!"

Ye Zuyin saw that Yang Heng valued himself so much, and he actually gave away the sword with him, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly bowed to the order, took the sword that the embroidered guard handed back to him, and held it tightly in his hand as if he had obtained the treasure.

Yang Heng glanced at the scene, his eyes swept over the lonely young man on his left hand side, and the seat leaned against Zheng Bingrong, and said, "Yang Yan, what are you stunned about? I have seen the poems you wrote, and they are brilliantly written, but I have never seen you dance with a sword, can you also perform to open everyone's eyes?"

"Yang Yan?" Duan Qianqiu thought to himself: "Could it be that he is Yang Yan, the tenth Zhongshu Lang on the Xuanwu list, and he didn't expect to be so young." ”

I saw Yang Yan get up and arch his hand and said: "Your Majesty has a will, Yang Yan'an dares not to obey, but the minister has a request, and I implore Your Majesty for permission." ”

"Yang Aiqing, please speak. ”

"I want to ask Duan Qianqiu Duan Gongzi to also use poems and sword dances, and compete with the ministers in court, please ask the queen mother, the emperor to make a judgment, and the loser should also be fined six pots of wine. Yang Yan said leisurely.

After hearing this, Duan Qianqiu's face changed drastically, and the expression on Lu Bangyan's face became extremely ugly.

Because although this competition is called Sword Dance, it is actually a naked martial arts challenge, but I don't understand why Yang Yan would pick Duan Qianqiu if the two don't know each other.

Yang Hengda said happily: "This is very good, both of you are famous top masters among the younger generation of my dynasty." Duan Qianqiu killed Yan Song, and I also wanted to see his methods. Come on, make room for this and make the field more open for the two of them to perform. ”

Duan Qianqiu was about to shirk, but was pulled by Lu Bangyan and said: "Even if you lose, don't shirk in front of the emperor, otherwise you will be regarded as cowardly and avoid war, and you will be despised for the rest of your life." ”

After hearing this, Duan Qianqiu sighed lightly: "I know. ”

Among the people in the field, the only people who knew that Duan Qianqiu's martial arts had been lost were Yang Yuxin, Zheng Bingrong and Lu Bangyan.

With Yang Yan's martial arts attainments ranking tenth on the Xuanwu List, Duan Qianqiu's skills are lost, how can he be lucky!

Yang Yixin hurriedly got up and reported to Yang Hengjuan: "Father, after Duan Qianqiu killed Yan Song, he has been in a coma, and he only woke up yesterday, and his martial arts have been lost, so it is really not suitable to do it with others. Zheng Bingrong was beside him, and he also echoed: "Your Majesty, this matter is true, and the imperial physician Xiao Chenghan can also witness it." ”

Yang Heng waved his hand at the two of them and said: "Xin'er, Rong'er, Duan Qianqiu was still in the downtown yesterday, and he defeated the four second-generation swordsmen of Xuanjian Zhai with his bare hands, how could he lose all his martial arts, and he didn't want to talk nonsense." Besides, it's just a sword dance, and it's not really a life-and-death fight, so don't worry about the two of you. ”

Yang Yan also followed Yang Heng's meaning and said: "Your Royal Highnesses the two princesses, please rest assured, we focus on poetry, and the sword is just a foil." ”

Yang Yuxin wanted to say more, but saw that Duan Qianqiu over there had already gotten up and walked slowly to the middle of the field, and Yuan Yu Yue stood upright, and everyone at the banquet saw that he had an extraordinary bearing, as steady as Mount Tai, and knew that he was the one who killed Yan Song, and a feeling of admiration arose in their hearts.

Yang Yuxin and Zheng Bingrong didn't know that Duan Qianqiu had recovered some of his strength, and he was so anxious and worried that he stomped his feet. Lu Bangyan was a little better, he had seen Duan Qianqiu's unpredictable martial arts, but he wasn't too worried: "If you can't beat it, you can always dodge." ”

He didn't know Duan Qianqiu's martial arts path, and he never hid!

Yang Yan also walked into the field, he was wearing an azure robe, with his expression and bearing, his body and standing posture, looking up like a green cedar tree on the top of the mountain, tall and straight, domineering.

Yang Yan smiled at Duan Qianqiu and said: "Brother Duan, I just wanted to learn about your poetry and writing, but Master Ye Zuyin's sword dance is really wonderful, Yang is not talented, and he also wants to follow suit, but Zhuyu is in front, if I am also a solo dance, it is too bland, so I will pull Brother Duan together." If Brother Duan's body has not healed, he can also take a break and let Yang dance alone. ”

Duan Qianqiu listened to this, and said lightly: "No need, Lord Yang, please start!"

"It is not only a sword dance, but also needs to be accompanied by poetry, I chose the former Tang Du Ministry of Works's "Sending the Six Servants into the Dynasty", which one did Brother Duan choose?"

Duan Qianqiu said: "Duan is actually not good at poetry, and the sword I dance is also very ugly, when I compare swords, I will repeat a few nonsense, I hope that when you dodge Lord Yang's sword, don't forget the words." ”

When everyone saw that he was compensating his own poems, they were curious, because sword dances were prevalent in the dynasty, and the poems and the rhythm of the sword were exquisite. Fang Cai Yang Yan chose Du Gongbu's "Sending the Road to the Six Servants to Enter the Dynasty", and the sword intent is the sense of clutch and gloom, and the emphasis is on ups and downs.

An embroidered guard handed the two of them a long sword.

Each drew his sword in his hand.

The sword dance competition is about to begin!
