Volume 2 The Flying Dragon in the Sky Chapter 66 Before the Decisive Battle
Seeing that Emperor Hongyuan was smiling happily, Xiaoshan also laughed silly. For a while, the pavilion was full of laughter, and those who didn't know thought that these two people were friends who had known each other for many years.
Smiling and smiling, Di Hongyuan suddenly sank his face, and said: "As far as I know, in tomorrow's decisive battle, many people have bet heavily on Flawless's body. Among them, there are many princes and nobles, heads of all parties. Of course, that includes me. Do you think I'm going to lose or win tomorrow?"
Xiaoshan also put away his smile, the meaning of Di Hongyuan's words was already obvious, of course he couldn't continue to pretend to be stupid. If someone else said these words in front of Xiao Shan, Xiao Shan might ignore it, but after all, the person in front of him was the prince of Great Qin and the emperor's brother, and it could be said that he was under one person and above ten thousand. His words may be what Emperor Daqin meant, even if Xiaoshan doesn't think about himself, he has to think about the people around him.
"It turns out that the prince is setting up a Hongmen banquet for me today!" Xiao Shan said expressionlessly.
Di Hongyuan picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip, and said indifferently: "Yes and no." ”
"Oh, the boy is stupid, and I ask the prince for advice. ”
Di Hongyuan put down his wine glass, looked at Xiao Shan and said, "When Your Majesty feasted the five academies at the Shitian Hall that day, could you be there?"
"In. ”
Di Hongyuan nodded and said, "Since I am here, I don't have to say a lot of things clearly." I only have one sentence: I Daqin needs to have an 'undefeated myth', do you understand?"
"This person can only be Emperor Flawless?"
Seeing that Emperor Hongyuan didn't speak, Xiao Shan remembered the white shadow he encountered in the Lonely Mountain Pavilion of Tianyi Academy that day, and continued: "Is the prince a little less confident in our Great Qin's Ice Phoenix? If she knew what the prince had done today, would she be grateful?"
"This is the purpose of my coming to you today: I want you to lose seamlessly!" At this time, Di Hongyuan's eyes were deep, his expression was solemn, and a momentum of a superior person arose.
Hearing Emperor Hongyuan's words, Xiaoshan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said slowly: "Reason, give me a reason that I can't refuse!"
"Afterwards, because the students of Fengyun Academy performed well in this meeting of the Five Academies, they will receive a 'special commendation' from the royal family, and I will also send a 'gift' to you Fengyun Academy in my personal name. As for you..."
Speaking of this, Di Hongyuan paused for a moment, and seeing that Xiaoshan was still listening expressionlessly, he continued: "As long as you open your mouth, I can satisfy you with anything you want!"
Listening to Di Hongyuan's words, Xiaoshan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Is the prince serious? Whatever I want, the prince can satisfy me?"
Seeing the smile on Xiaoshan's face, Di Hongyuan put his mind at ease, picked up the wine glass on the table again, and said indifferently: "That's right!"
"I want the emperor to be flawless!"
Poof! A sip of wine was sprayed clean by Di Hongyuan. Then Di Hongyuan glared and said, "What did you say?"
To be honest, Di Hongyuan thought that Xiaoshan would open his mouth, but money, power, and beauty were not a problem for Emperor Hongyuan, as long as Xiaoshan brought it up, there was nothing that he Emperor Hongyuan could not do.
Yes, Xiaoshan didn't choose money, didn't choose power, and chose beauty. But this beauty is really Emperor Hongyuan's master, no matter how big his ability is that Emperor Hongyuan, the prince, can be big enough to be the master of the future empress?
"The ancients had a saying: My fair lady, a gentleman is good. The flawless princess is unparalleled in beauty and cultivation, and I have admired the princess for a long time. If I were to lose to my future wife in the ring, I think I would be glad to do so. Lord, do you think what I said makes sense?"
The corners of Di Hongyuan's mouth twitched, and his eyes stared at the handsome young man in front of him with a harmless smile on his face. It's just that Xiaoshan's face, how unpleasant Di Hongyuan looks at now. Obviously, he set up a Hongmen banquet for this young man, who knew that in the blink of an eye, this guy would give him a white wolf with empty gloves! However, it is also to blame Emperor Hongyuan for talking too much just now, and Xiaoshan is indeed a person who does not play cards according to common sense.
"Boy, are you too greedy?" Di Hongyuan's tone turned cold.
There are so many people in the world who admire the princess, but they don't have the opportunity like I have today. I seized the opportunity to get the woman I love, although the means are not glamorous, but there is nothing wrong with it!"
Di Hongyuan, the confidant of the king of freedom, is all over the world, and if he wants to say that he is playing tricks in order to get a woman, he really has not done less. And the "opportunity" in the small mountain pass was given by his emperor Hongyuan. Therefore, Di Hongyuan can't say that other people's are not.
"As far as I know: you seem to have a close relationship with the little girl named Bella of the Violet family! If Flawless is your 'beloved' woman, who is that Bella?"
It seems that Di Hongyuan is also an old fox, and he has already investigated Xiaoshan before setting up this Hongmen banquet.
When Xiaoshan heard this, he knew that Di Hongyuan was slapping him in the face with Bella, but he didn't care, but looked at Di Hongyuan and said, "Between the Flawless Princess and Bella, who does the prince think I should choose?"
At this time, Emperor Hongyuan would no longer treat Xiaoshan as a stunned youth, and he could also hear the meaning of Xiaoshan's words: Do you want me to work for Donglu, or do you want to push me to the Western Frontier?
Yes, Xiaoshan threatened Di Hongyuan a little. However, he does have this capital. Even the son of the sun, who is recognized as the "first person" in Western Xinjiang, was defeated at the hands of Xiaoshan, who was in Daqin at this time, and he could be regarded as a celebrity. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many people coming to "visit" him these days. And Emperor Hongyuan will not take great pains to set up this Hongmen banquet.
"So, there's no talk between us?"
"I can only say: I came to participate in the martial arts of the Five Academies just for the emperor to be flawless!"
When Di Hongyuan heard this, he closed his eyes expressionlessly. After a long time, Di Hongyuan said loudly: "What I said before still counts, you can do it yourself!"
Xiaoshan stood up, bowed his hand to Emperor Hongyuan, and then turned to leave the pavilion.
Out of the gate on the first floor of the sky, it was already full of stars. Xiaoshan, who was on the crowded street, suddenly felt very lonely, so he stepped up his steps to walk back.
Back at the residence, Yiyu and the others were not there, perhaps because they had not returned. However, Feng Qianyu and Yang Songbai were sitting in the living room, as if they were waiting for Xiaoshan.
Before Xiaoshan could speak, Feng Qianyu stood up and dropped a sentence: "Come up." And he went upstairs.
Knowing that Feng Qianyu had something to say to Xiaoshan, Yang Songbai didn't say anything, just nodded to Xiaoshan, and turned around and went back to the house.
When he came to Feng Qianyu's room, Xiao Shan, who didn't say a word, found a stool and sat down, he was thinking about how to talk to Feng Qianyu about today's events.
Before Xiaoshan could think about it, Feng Qianyu handed a letter to Xiaoshan.
"What is this?"
"Didn't my eldest brother write to us a few days ago, in fact, there are three letters in total, and this one is for you. ”
"Uncle Feng's letter to me, why did you give it to me now?" said Xiao Shan, who looked puzzled, took the envelope.
"You'll know when you're done. After saying that, Feng Qianyu walked to the window and opened it.
The content of the letter was not much, and Xiaoshan quickly read it. However, after reading the letter, the expression on Xiaoshan's face changed from initial confusion to surprise, then to unwillingness, and finally to helplessness.
"Sister Feng, you already know the content of this letter! Today, you also know the purpose of the 'Easy King' banquet for me! Sister Feng, why do they all want me to lose to Emperor Wufang? Do you also want me to lose to Emperor Wufang?" Xiao Shan said with a wry smile.
That's right, although Feng Buxi said very tactfully in the letter, but there is only one meaning: if Xiaoshan's final opponent is Emperor Wufang, he will not be able to lose.
Feng Qianyu turned to look at Xiao Shan and said, "Do you know why they want you to lose to Emperor Wufang?"
Glancing at the letterhead in his hand again, Xiaoshan nodded and said, "I know, but I'm not reconciled!"
Feng Qianyu walked in front of Xiao Shan, stretched out his hands to hold Xiao Shan's cheeks, rubbed them gently, and said with some distress: "It's good that you know." ”
Xiaoshan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then stood up and smiled at Feng Qianyu, "I understand, Sister Feng." With that, Xiaoshan left Feng Qianyu's room.
......
Today is the day of the decisive battle of the five academies, and a huge round platform has already been built at the main entrance of the Great Qin Palace, which is the ring of the decisive battle.
Early in the morning, the round platform was already full of people, all vying for a good position to watch the game. Of course, the people who can find a good position are still those palace nobles, heads of all parties. As for the ordinary people who had the time and mood to come to watch the battle, it was not surprising that they stood at the back, and it was still far, far away from the entrance of the palace.
The round platform of the decisive battle is facing the gate of the palace, and it is higher than the gate. However, it is lower than the threshold of the Shitian Hall in a straight line with the round platform, because the Great Qin Emperor Emperor Hongyin is sitting at the door of the Shitian Hall and chatting and laughing with the civil and military officials.
"Brother Huang, what about Flawless?"
Di Hongyuan, who was sitting on the left side of Emperor Hongyin, never saw Emperor Wufang's figure, and couldn't help but ask.
Emperor Hongyin glanced at the concubines and concubines sitting or standing on the corridors on both sides of the Shitian Palace, but he didn't see the emperor's flawless figure, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "This girl, on such an important day today, I don't want to say hello to her father." ”
"Brother Huang, I hope that Flawless will come to ask for peace, I think it is Brother Huang's love for his daughter, so I'm already worried!" Di Hongyuan said with a smile.
"What is there to worry about!Where will that Wild Thousand Heavy be my imperial sister's opponent!Imperial Uncle, just wait and see that Wild Thousand Heavy being beaten all over the ground by my imperial sister looking for teeth!" Emperor Xuanli, who was sitting on the right, snorted disdainfully.
