In everyone's opinion, the duel between Shi Yinheng and Mei Yuanchen should be the most unsuspicious among the nine groups. One is a well-known master, and the other is an unknown boy who is just starting out. No one expected the scene between the two. It would be so wonderful.
Whether it was the fierce fist fight between the two at the beginning, Mei Yuanchen's sword skills later to break through Shi Yinheng's defense, or Shi Yinheng's exquisite sword moves using a magnetic ring to suppress Mei Yuanchen in the end, all of them demonstrated the profound friendship between the two. Martial arts background.
As soon as the outcome was decided, the people in the front row of the school field started to discuss it.
"What's that boy's name? I remember his surname is Mei. Oh, Mei Yuanchen? Yes..."
"Hey, if you have any questions, ask me! I'm from Meijia Village in Jinzhou, and this Mei Yuanchen is the smartest boy in our village! Let me tell you,..."
"You fought well, why did he just give up?"
All of a sudden, all sorts of stories, both true and false, popped up.
There is always a shortage of good people in the world. When they catch something interesting, they are eager to add fuel to the fire, arrange it arbitrarily, and then publicize it. Those people often have mediocre martial arts skills and can only win some attention with their verbal skills.
As the saying goes, "three people make a tiger", many times the more people spread the word, the more unfounded things will be recognized.
Not only the ordinary warriors were inquiring about Mei Yuanchen's details, but even the Star Reaching Pavilion was becoming restless.
"Dad, how come we didn't know there was such a young master in Dahua before?" In the crowd, An Ruqing whispered to An Wuyu beside him, "I look at it, and his martial arts seems to be a little higher than Suye. "
Before, he had always thought that the most powerful young masters in the world were Xu Jinye and Yun Xiaomeng. Unexpectedly, the little-known Mei Yuanchen's martial arts was no weaker than the two.
"There are many masters in the world, and this is not the only one left behind." An Wuyu replied calmly, "Ji Ye is about to come on stage, let's see how he can defeat Zhan Ming's Xuance Gong and Zhenwu Swordsmanship. .”
After the gong sounded, Zhan Ming and Xu Suye walked towards the martial arts school circle in opposite directions, and the audience was finally temporarily quiet.
...
"Stop!" Gongyang Xun shouted sharply.
Born in such a military family, my father's orders have always been like military orders. When I heard the Gongyang Psalm, I stopped, turned around, gritted my teeth and said: "Father, my Gongyang family has been favored by the Great Huaxia family in this life, and I must not treason! "
That day in the Lanyue Pavilion of the Nanguo Restaurant, he had made a sworn alliance with Mei Yuanchen. During the dinner, he once said - "If you know that the Gongyang family really has the intention to change the banner, I will die to persuade you. I will never do anything in this life." Be an enemy of the imperial court!”
The old system of princes with different surnames living in the capital hostage, in addition to holding the four kings hostage, also had a major purpose of making the four princes have good relations with the Dahua court and gradually become closer to them. After they ascended the throne, they could be loyal to the Xia family.
Ode to the Gong Yang: Eight years is not a long time for me to live in the capital city. Gong Yangxun was established as the heir apparent at the age of sixteen. He went to the capital half a year later and was thirty-five years old when he returned to Dianzhou to inherit the title of king.
It can be said that he spent the best twenty years of his life living as a guest and using his body as a hostage.
"return!"
After hesitating for a while, I turned around and stood in front of my father. He was only twenty-one years old when he left Dianzhou. Before that, he had been following Gong Yangxun and taught him by his words and deeds, and he never dared to disobey.
After returning home eight years later, he and his father naturally became a little stranger, and he actually felt that he was more strict than before.
But at this moment, he felt the urge to try.
Gong Yangxun stared at his eldest son in front of him with a complicated expression, and he hesitated to speak several times.
"Father, I'm no longer a three-year-old child. You shouldn't hide anything from me at home." I raised my head and looked at my father, the anger in my voice not even concealed.
Yes, my father was colder and harsher than before, but he had not remained unchanged during the eight years he had been in the capital. In the past, how could he dare to call Gong Yangxun in such a tone?
In the past six months, what he was most worried about was hearing others say that the Gongyang family had ulterior motives.
How many times did he want to write back and ask. However, every time I pick up the pen, I think about it again and again but never dare to mention it.
Countless fears lingered in his heart, and he only confided the pain to Mei Yuanchen.
"What do you want to know?" Gongyang Xun asked in a deep voice.
"I want to know if the Gongyang Palace really has any objections?"
......·
Seeing that Mei Yuanchen finished the round without incident, Yun Xiaoyang and Yi Qingxin breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. They didn't care whether he lost or won, this was the best outcome.
Losing was expected. No one except the person involved felt disappointed.
"Master Yuanchen!"
As soon as he sat down, he heard a familiar voice calling him from the audience behind him. Mei Yuanchen recognized that it was Qing Ji and quickly turned around to see him signaling to her.
"Why is Master Qingji here? He is Yiyi's close guard and never leaves the capital..."
Thinking of this, I saw a worried look on Qing Ji's face, and felt an unknown feeling in his heart. Not daring to stay any longer at the moment, he walked out with a low body.
"Let's find a place where there are few people to talk." Seeing Mei Yuanchen come down from the stage, Qingji whispered in his ear and walked straight to the outside of the school grounds.
Zhan Ming, Zhan Wei, Yi Qilin, Yun Xiaomeng and others on the stage all noticed that he had quietly left the stage, and they couldn't help but speculate.
The Xu family is the most prominent family in Ruozhou. The Xu family's residence is also in a very prosperous place in the city, and is adjacent to wealthy families on both sides.
Qingji trotted all the way to a sparsely populated area, and finally stopped beside a hill.
As soon as he stood still, Mei Yuanchen appeared beside him.
"Master Qingji, why are you here in Ruozhou?"
When Jing Mei Yuanchen asked, Qingji's eyes instantly turned red.
"What's wrong? Did something happen in the capital?" Mei Yuanchen's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Qingji sniffed and replied softly: "Master Yuanchen, please return to the capital as soon as possible. The eldest princess is afraid... I'm afraid she may not be able to survive."
"Buzz~~~"
Not working anymore? Mei Yuanchen's brain felt as if someone had hit her hard, her whole body was shaking unconsciously, and she murmured: "Yiyi..."
"Master Yuanchen!"
Mei Yuanchen blinked hard and his mind became clearer. He quickly grabbed Qingji's arm and asked urgently: "How...why are you afraid that it won't work?"
Although he clenched his teeth, the sound of crying was so obvious that it betrayed his heart.
There are so many cruel things in the world, even a man with strong bones cannot withstand such injury.
"The eldest princess has been poisoned by people from the Jue Kingdom. She has asked all the famous doctors, but they can't find a cure. Her life is in danger at any time." Qing Ji replied sadly.
...
Duanmuyu has locked himself in the room for a day.
Throughout the day, he was copying the famous article "Ten Thoughts on Admonitions and Risks" by Xue Muyan, a great scholar in Jue Kingdom.
If you stay calm in times of danger, you will be able to resolve the danger. He has always understood the principle of "endure first before planning".
"The country of Jue is not fully prepared for war and should not have fought. But the situation is like this, and it is impossible for our country of Jue to avoid fighting." Duanmuyu put the wolf hair into the pen holder, looked at his calligraphy and sighed softly, "I hope this time , God is on Jade’s side!”
