Outside the Jinluan Palace, Zhang Fan and the three of them were talking with Kong Zhengyi, Qin Hui and Gao Yu.

Qin Hui's face was still a little pale at this time, showing a look of concern, and asked, "Princess, has the saint woken up?" Zhu Enchanting said lightly: "Lord Qin, don't worry, the imperial brother has woken up and is now resting in the palace." When Qin Hui and Gao Yu heard this, their pale faces turned flushed, and they said with relief: "It's okay if the saint is fine, it's okay if it's okay." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really confused, he actually disregarded the relationship between father and son so much, and assassinated the Holy Lord, it is really a disgrace to destroy the conscience!"

"The Holy One is really well, Divine Doctor?" At this moment, several eager voices came from below. Zhang Fan turned around and saw Kong Zhengyi and the five purple-robed officials walking briskly, and said with a smile: "Rest assured, all the adults, the Holy Lord is already well, but his body is still a little weak. Everyone looked happy and said, "It's okay for the saint to be fine." ”

At this time, several ministers came close and asked questions, and Zhang Fan responded one by one. Kong Zhengyi sighed: "Zhu Tianpeng is really a bastard, he was restless in the morning, he originally thought that he was just confused for a while, so he came to stir up the situation, who would have thought that he would assassinate the saint in a frenzy." The minister sighed and said, "Yes, yes, the prince is really too unreasonable." ”

Just as everyone sighed, a soft voice came from the temple door. A eunuch said: "The Holy Lord's message: My injuries have recovered, and my body is better than before, so don't worry. I declare that today's birthday banquet is over, and tomorrow's martial arts tournament will be held as usual, and all the ministers and people need to actively prepare for the battle, and I will personally watch the battle. When everyone heard this, they all knelt down and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" After everyone finished speaking, they left one after another. And the eunuch returned to the temple.

At this time, Qin Hui, Gao Yu and others led the ministers away, and Zhang Fan also said to Mingyue when he saw this: "Let's go too." Mingyue nodded, and then the two turned around to leave. Who knew that Zhu Yourao said: "Imperial Doctor Zhang must stay in the palace, and your child can leave temporarily." ”

Zhang Fan was originally dissatisfied with the Crescent Princess, who would have thought that he would not trouble her, but she would not let herself go. He stared at the crescent princess fiercely and said, "Don't think that no one knows about the dirty things you did. Lao Tzu doesn't want to stay in this hellish place, so stay if you like. The crescent moon princess Zhu Yourao gritted her teeth angrily when she heard this, and asked: "Zhang Fan, are you still not human? What is the reason why you ignore this palace and turn around and leave?" Zhang Fan said angrily: "You are talking nonsense. When has this son seen you, don't frame a good person casually. After speaking, he pulled Mingyue and left quickly.

When the crescent moon princess heard that he didn't admit it, she was stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses. saw that Zhang Fan had already gone away. I wanted to go to catch up, but I couldn't help it, so I had to stare at Zhang Fan's back in the distance, and scolded in my heart: "You shameless thief, you want to play a temper in the palace, hmph! Just wait, your son will not recognize you as a father in the future, and all the things that your little daughter-in-law gave you belong to the palace." You will never leave the palm of your hand in the future, hum!" she became angrier the more she thought about it. I don't want such a beautiful beauty, but I stupidly rushed to the dilapidated mansion, which is really unreasonable.

"Princess, the Holy One has called you in, and he has something to say to you. Just as the crescent princess was angry, the voice of a eunuch came. Zhu Yourao nodded when she heard this, and then entered the hall with the eunuch.

At this time, Zhang Fan and Mingyue had already come to the mansion and sat in the hall to eat. Mingyue saw that her husband's complexion was not good, and asked with concern: "Husband, are you still angry with the crescent princess?" Zhang Fan ate and said lightly: "That woman is so hateful, I can't stand her aggressive momentum." Mingyue smiled: "Husband misunderstood, although Mingyue has rarely seen the crescent princess before, she also knows her experience." You know that the saint married the crescent princess, who could only walk, to the children of the down-and-out royal family of the Rong Kingdom to alleviate the situation in the northwest. Although she didn't really marry the man, it was like thunder for a little girl. Zhang Fan said lightly: "Even so, she stole what Xue'er gave me, how can I have a good impression of her?"

Mingyue chuckled when she heard this, and was silent. Zhang Fan continued: "She also said that she was pregnant with my child, and I had never seen her before, isn't this nonsense?" Mingyue finally couldn't help laughing and said: "Husband, why do you care about her nonsense? Yue'er heard that the power of the crescent princess in the northwest is extremely strong, as long as you give full play to your ability and take the princess into a few places, then you will get a huge backer, and you will not have to be chased and killed in the future." Zhang Fan was speechless when he heard this.

Then the two talked about some trivial matters in life, and there was no need to go into details.

Before the time came to noon the next day, Zhang Fan also prepared the black sword, armor and elixir and brought the bright moon to the square in front of the Jinluan Palace. At this time, the old emperor was already sitting on the high platform, and the crescent princess and the ministers were waiting on the steps while eating fresh fruits.

The high platform in front of Zhang Fan is the white marble high platform used yesterday to display birthday gifts and perform songs and dances, and now it has become a competition venue. He saw that the entire square was crowded with people, but only one arena was set up, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and asked Mingyue: "Mingyue, what's going on? Is it possible to use such frugality in the martial arts competition?" Mingyue was dressed as a waiter, and when she heard her husband's stupid words, she covered her mouth and whispered: "Husband, this world martial arts competition is a gathering for several families and big forces to let young children come out to perform and play prestige, and it is useless for ordinary people to come here." Zhang Fan was shocked when he heard this. Mingyue continued: "Ordinary people don't have advanced exercises, and even if they come, they are not qualified to participate. Since the world martial arts competition is held by the emperor, it must have its own purpose, not a group of warriors to go up, fight indiscriminately, leave the people who have won miserably, and then compete. Zhang Fan couldn't help but be disappointed in the martial arts competition.

"This boy is here to sign up, please come here. Just as Zhang Fan and the two were talking, a eunuch ran forward. Zhang Fan raised his eyes and saw a strange smile on the corner of his mouth. The eunuch approached and said in surprise: "It turned out to be the divine doctor, Xiao Anzi was rude." Zhang Fan smiled: "No need to be polite, I'm here to sign up for the competition." So saying, he walked to the registration office. Xiao Anzi had no choice but to follow.

Zhang Fan and Mingyue came forward and saw that it was the little plum who registered their names, so they didn't talk nonsense. said: "Xiao Lizi, Lord Ben is going to participate in the martial arts competition today, you can help me register." The little plum looked up. Surprised: "Master Divine Doctor, why are you bothering about this? The martial arts competition is just a martial arts competition performed by a few gentlemen for the saint to watch, isn't it your self-deprecating status for your old man to participate in it?"

Zhang Fan doesn't care about his nonsense, he has a purpose in participating in the big competition, how can he say that it is just to please the old emperor. He said impatiently: "You just register, my cultivation is not high, I just want to have a discussion with everyone." Xiao Lizi was helpless. I had to do it. Then Zhang Fan and the two came to the stage and sat down.

At this time, there was a clear cheer in front of the hall. Eunuch Zhao said in a loud voice: "All the ministers, heroes and heroes, the Holy Lord has specially come to preside over this world martial arts competition today, which is everyone's honor. It is also an honor for me to be a great Qi country. Now please declare the decree of God. For a while, the whole square was noisy, and the noisy noise came and went, which was deafening. Emperor Shengwei slowly stood up from the dragon chair and said lightly, "I am presiding over the martial arts competition today. It is intended to hope that young talents will actively participate in the competition. No matter whether he wins or loses, no matter how high or low his cultivation is, as long as he participates in a competition, I will reward him with a hundred taels of silver. The competition was divided into three games, the first of which was when the warriors of the same level competed with each other to select the top 10 and give them a hundred taels of gold; the second was when the low-level warriors challenged the senior warriors and defeated their opponents by leaping one level. The reward is 10,000 taels of gold, and the third warrior guards and competes with the heroes. Those who can persist to the end will be rewarded with a century-old elixir and a million taels of gold. In addition, I have a princess, who is eighteen years old, and has not yet chosen a horse, if any of the heroes can win the championship of this competition, he will be my horse, and I will also reward him with a small city as a fief, and give him an official and a knight. ”

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but take a breath when they heard this, and they calmed down suddenly. A moment later, someone shouted, "The rules of this tournament have changed, and we can all participate in the tournament." Someone shouted, "I want to get gold and elixir this time and break through the innate realm." Someone shouted: "I want to be a concubine, and I will be knighted!" For a while, the whole square was boiling and noisy.

At this time, Eunuch Zhao preached: "Everyone is quiet, the martial arts competition is about to begin." There are more than 100,000 participants in this martial arts competition, divided into 365 arenas, and all arenas are held together. Among them, the central arena is the place where the top ten martial artists compete in this competition, and it will not be open until the top ten are released. Now the arena is guarded by soldiers, and the tournament is officially held. ”

As soon as his voice fell, the crowd began to make an uproar again. At the same time, three hundred and sixty-five high platforms appeared in the sea of people in the square, and one after another the warriors jumped up one after another, fighting without saying a word.

Zhang Fan in the audience was stunned when he saw this scene. Mingyue looked at her husband in surprise and said with a smile: "Husband, people don't know if things have changed." Do you still want to participate in the martial arts competition?" Zhang Fan laughed and said: "Of course I participate, otherwise what am I doing here." It's just that these turtle sons are too anxious, and they are sent to death on the stage like crazy people, which is really unreasonable. Mingyue said with a smile: "This martial arts competition has a lot of rewards, as long as the contestants have silver taels to get, it is not surprising that those low-level martial artists who originally planned to just mix in and watch the excitement see the money and compete fiercely." ”

Zhang Fan glanced at the ten rings that suddenly appeared next to the white marble platform, and the sons were playing with a large group of warriors, disdainful in his heart, and wanted to teach them a lesson, so he said: "These guys are only making a show to make money when they come to the stage, and they don't try their best at all, I'll go up and add some material to them." When Mingyue heard this, she immediately grabbed Zhang Fan and blamed: "Husband, you are crazy, now the people fighting on the stage are all small minions, and the real masters will not appear until the end, and then fight to the death on the white marble platform." If you go now, you're only going to make people laugh. Wait, these people will fight with a playful mind, but sooner or later they will come out on fire, and then they will pay for their stupidity. Zhang Fan was shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart: "Damn, this rule seems to have changed, but in fact, it is almost the same as when it didn't change." The old emperor is planning to let this group of fools fight, go to the chaff, reward the victors with gold and silver, and win them over to serve him. I said how he suddenly changed his mind. ”

"Ah, killed! Killed! Rong Guo's warriors were unruly and killed!" Just as Zhang Fan was thinking, a terrible roar came out. (To be continued......)
