Like flowing clouds and flowing water, the maids carrying palace lanterns led the Queen of Heaven to the viewing platform where Qin Xiangyu and the old monk were sitting.
When Qin Xiangyu saw her junior sister ascending to the high platform, she stood up to greet her: "A common girl has seen the Queen of Heaven."
The honest monk standing aside also bent down and put his hands together to greet the Queen of Heaven.
Seeing this scene, the businessmen, young ladies, and hundreds of monks in front of Weiyang Palace knelt down to salute the Queen of Heaven.
In the current Tang Dynasty, everyone knew that except for the emperor who was in the Eastern Capital, it was the Queen of Heaven who had the most power.
"Everyone, get up."
The Queen of Heaven spoke quietly, her voice was not loud but it reached everyone's ears.
Qin Xiangyu looked at her and smiled lightly. After waiting for the Queen of Heaven to sit down, he sat down on the side. The monks under the high platform looked at the Queen of Heaven and Qin Xiangyu on the high platform and were all stunned.
In my heart, except the emperor, who can be equal to the Queen of Heaven?
Qin Xiangyu naturally understood this truth, so she could only say softly: "My dear, are you putting a common girl on the fire to roast her?"
The Empress of Heaven smiled faintly: "Junior sister, I will leave Chang'an in a blink of an eye, so what if I let you be so presumptuous?"
Qin Xiangyu was stunned when he heard this, and then murmured: "Is it possible that Senior Sister already knows that we are leaving?"
Sighing, the Queen Mother Mother said quietly: "Master left, and you didn't even tell me. If my brother hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known it until now. .”
"Senior sister has seen Li Xiuyuan, where are the others?"
Qin Xiangyu frowned slightly and said, "Ten years ago during the battle on the top of the snow mountain, he hid in the inn drinking. This time, he hid in the temple and chanted sutras again?"
"Isn't it possible? He is my brother, junior sister, you have to respect him more."
The Empress of Heaven waved her hand and told the chief eunuch on the side: "It's almost time. Let the two swordsmen of the Tang Dynasty come on stage and let us all open our eyes."
"It's time to begin." The chief eunuch stepped forward and told the leader of the forbidden army in the audience.
The leader of the Forbidden Army nodded and shouted to the two guards beside him: "Go and invite two strong men to step onto the ring."
[In view of the general environment,
Qin Xiangyu sighed. She knew that Li Xiuyuan didn't like the excitement, but she didn't expect that even if the Queen of Heaven came this year, this guy wouldn't show up.
In this case, she can only stay here honestly.
Liu Tianfeng looked at Wu Tu beside him and smiled: "I never imagined that ten years later, we would still be sitting in the palace watching these two guys fight."
Wutu took out a pack of melon seeds from his arms, grabbed a handful himself, then handed the rest to Liu Tianfeng, and started eating them himself.
After a while, he said: "So what, ten years ago I had both hands intact, but ten years later I only have one hand left."
When he said this, his face looked a little ugly. Fortunately, in the dark night, others couldn't see his expression.
Liu Tianfeng felt the atmosphere at this time and murmured: "You are good, at least you are alive. Think about the guy who died in Lantian Villa..."
His voice was very soft, but Utu heard it clearly.
The hand holding a handful of melon seeds suddenly stiffened, and he sighed and said, "I just feel unwilling to do so. I have no other meaning. Don't think too much."
Looking up at the Queen of Heaven on the high platform, Liu Tianfeng whispered: "I said, you should have a better attitude. It's not like you don't know that there are some things you can't say."
Utu nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Xiaoguang looked at the Queen of Heaven and Qin Xiangyu on the high platform, and couldn't help but ask Gao Yue'er beside him: "Master, do you also know the Queen of Heaven?"
Gao Yue'er nodded: "I'm not very familiar with her. When I came back with my senior sister, the empress had already entered the palace."
Recalling what happened when she followed Li Xiuyuan back from the East China Sea, Gao Yuer'er felt a little irritable.
stare
He glanced at Xiao Guang: "You better guess, whether your eldest brother or your father will win tonight."
Xiaoguang chuckled, stood up, walked to the high platform, waved to Qin Xiangyu and smiled: "Shopkeeper, my eldest brother wants the sword, can you give it to me now?"
In an instant, everyone heard clearly and were stunned.
Countless pairs of eyes looked at Xiaoguang under the high platform and Qin Xiangyu on the high platform. Hundreds of monks, including a group of forbidden soldiers, were also shocked and speechless.
It seems that the legend back then is true. The Meteor Sword King Yi really buried his sword in the big lake of Lantian Villa. As a result, he now has no sword and has to borrow the sword from the Queen of Heaven.
This, isn't this just a last resort? It's not easy to borrow a sword temporarily to compete, isn't it?
Even the Queen of Heaven on the high platform frowned slightly, looked at Qin Xiangyu and asked, "Junior sister, why is this?"
Qin Xiangyu curled his lips and said with a smile: "That guy has no use for his sword and has to borrow it from the imperial guards in the palace. You also know that the monks who came to watch the battle today are not allowed to bring weapons."
The Queen of Heaven was stunned when she heard this, then smiled and said, "Have you made all the arrangements for him?"
Qin Xiangyu sighed and said to the leader of the forbidden army below the high platform: "Please give this guy the troubles that troubled the general before. Later he will throw it to Wang Yi who is on the stage for a decisive battle."
The leader of the Forbidden Army clenched fists with the Queen of Heaven...
The Queen of Heaven waved her hand and said with a smile: "Then give it to him. It's just a few ordinary long swords. If they break, they will break."
The leader of the Forbidden Army nodded to the guard beside him. The guard took the seven long swords he had prepared before and handed them to Xiaoguang.
He said, "Be careful and don't cause any trouble."
Xiaoguang chuckled, pointed at Qin Xiangyu on the stage and said, "My shopkeeper is up there, nothing will happen."
…
While everyone was stunned, from a distance, Jin Wuming, dressed in white, followed behind the imperial army and came to the arena in front of Weiyang Palace.
Looking at Qin Xiangyu on the high platform, he couldn't help but sigh.
He introduced to the Queen of Heaven on the side: "This guy is Jin Wuming from Lantian Villa. Ten years ago, he had a fight with Wang Yi on the top of the snow mountain..."
The Empress of Heaven nodded and replied: "I heard about this, is there another guy?"
"That guy, he has also stayed in my inn for more than ten years. I will leave my Hongchen Inn to him in the future."
Qin Xiangyu chuckled: "That guy wants to pretend to be a master and won't come out until the last minute."
Many of the three hundred monks in front of Weiyang Palace had seen the legend of Lantian Villa for the first time. When they saw it tonight, it was indeed like a jade tree standing in the wind, a sign of talent.
Jin Wuming's white clothes whistled in the night wind, and the sound was as eye-catching as the flag on the flagpole.
A young lady from Chang'an City even exclaimed: "So, this is the young master of Lantian Villa?"
Gao Yue'er looked at Xiaoguang holding a pile of swords and laughed: "You should tell them that you are the young master of Lantian Villa now."
Xiaoguang shook his head and replied: "The young master of Lantian Villa, is he amazing?"
Then he looked at his master and said, "If I wanted to be the master of Lantian Villa, my mother would have let me go back then, so why wait until now?"
Gao Yue'er looked at his appearance and sighed, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this young lady from Chang'an City has fallen in love with your father."
"It looks useless!"
Xiaoguang smiled sheepishly and said, "Don't say my mother is great, Meng Xiaodie is even more amazing. Who dares to offend those two women?"
In Xiaoguang's opinion, it was already a miracle that his mother could tolerate Meng Xiaodie back then.
Gao Yue'er was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, and praised with the kind eyes only a master would have: "That's true, who dares to mess with these two women?"
Without saying anything, a hand had already reached out, holding Xiao Guang's ear and saying, "If I'm not here, you're going to say bad things about me behind my back, right?"
"no."
Xiaoguang broke free from Murong Shuyu's hand, looked at her and said, "Everything I said is true."
It’s the truth, except I dare to say this…”
After speaking, he pointed at Jin Wuming who stepped onto the high platform and said, "He and Wang Yi are two idiots who don't dare."
Wutu in the crowd looked at Jin Wuming walking onto the ring and sighed secretly.
He said to Liu Tianfeng: "Even after ten years, this guy is still the same as before. With such a sharp edge, I'm afraid Wang Yi will be in trouble."
In his opinion, Jin Wuming, who stepped onto the ring and stood there quietly, looked like a sword.
A sharp sword that can be unsheathed and hurt at any time.
Standing on the ring, Jin Wuming could not see his wife and son, so he looked up at the Queen of Heaven and Qin Xiangyu.
He cupped his hands and said, "Jin Wuming, a common man, has met the Queen of Heaven."
The Queen of Heaven waved her hand and said: "No need to be polite, the time has come. Where is your opponent?"
Jin Wuming looked at the full moon in the night sky, looking at the halo of the moon slowly rotating around the moon like a golden phoenix, and couldn't help but be startled.
Pointing to the sky, he said, "The Queen of Heaven looked up to see if the golden light surrounding the moon was a golden phoenix. If so, it coincided with the beauty of such a good time."
"Oh Ah Jue, I didn't expect you to really be able to please my queen tonight, huh?"
Qin Xiangyu looked up at the night sky and murmured: "My dear, if you say this to him, it is quite trueThe golden phoenix surrounds the moon. It means."
The courtiers, businessmen, young ladies, and a group of monks sitting below all praised him.
"The golden phoenix surrounding the moon means that today is auspicious and a good sign!"
"The Queen of Heaven is watching the battle in person, even the moon has to show its beautiful smile!"
"May the Queen of Heaven be blessed and safe, this is such auspiciousness!"
The Queen of Heaven looked at the moon in the night sky and couldn't help but murmured: "Brother, have you seen it too? On such a good day, it shouldn't rain, right?"
Qin Xiangyu didn't react, so she could only reply softly: "Mother, in this fine weather, it will definitely not rain."
The honest monk who had remained silent behind him also raised his hands and said, "Congratulations, your Majesty, this is a good sign."
Xiao Jin looked up at the night sky and murmured to himself: "Master, does this look like a phoenix? Where did my elder brother die and he hasn't shown up yet?"
"You idiot can't see it yourself!"
Murong Shuyu chuckled and said, "You don't even care about my father, you only care about your big brother who sees the dragon but never sees the end."
Gao Yue'er smiled and replied: "It does look a bit like it. Your eldest brother is already here."
Ye Xiaoqian heard the words and looked back, but did not see Wang Yi, so she had to ask: "Why didn't I see him? Where did he hide?"
Just as everyone was expecting, Wang Yi, dressed in black, came slowly behind the forbidden army.
His hands were empty, and his black shirt blended into the vast night, so people could not see his face clearly for a while.
Along the way, he looked at Jin Wuming standing on the ring in white clothes and the sword in his hand, and his brows suddenly tightened.
He did not expect that tonight's battle would be so solemn and Jin Wuming would bring the legendary sword of Lantian Villa.
And I don’t seem to have any treasures.
The sudden change made him distracted for a moment.
He stepped on the air and almost fell under the ring.
The hundreds of monks who saw this were all stunned, thinking to themselves that the battle hasn't started yet, but you have lost your momentum first?
He glanced at Jin Wuming, who looked completely different on the high platform, and ignored the jeers from under the high platform.
Wang Yi took a breath and stepped heavily on the wooden frame leading to the ring.
Seeing the scene in front of her, even the Queen of Heaven on the high platform could not help but frown slightly. After all, she was also a monk of the Tang Dynasty.
Qin Xiangyu looked at her and shook her head, meaning don't worry.
Step by step, Wang Yi stepped onto the ring amidst laughter.
He did not rush to say hello to Jin Wuming, but looked at Xiaoguang under the ring and asked, "Where is my sword?"
