Although he knew that the venue of the competition was set in the royal martial arts arena, and ordinary people could not enter to watch, the streets of the capital were still full of people and lively.
Business at the firecracker shops is more than 30% better than usual, and many people have purchased fire whips in advance to celebrate this upcoming victory. Some businessmen even sat in the teahouse and tavern chatting, excitedly discussing the wins and losses and the two cities that were about to be harvested.
"This time it is definitely the King of Chu who wins, and we in Western Chu have won."
"Isn't it, the King of Chu is the god of war of our Western Chu, and the King of Chu is out of the horse, and the prince of Dongwan is not a problem at all."
"When we win this competition, we will be the first in the world! Hahahaha......"
Countless people responded and toasted in celebration, their faces full of excitement and noise.
Who knows, just when everyone was wishing victory, a voice suddenly sounded: "I heard that the king of Chu was plotted, and he has lost all his internal strength and martial arts, have you heard?" But I don't know if it's true or not? โ
As soon as these words came out, the lobby suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes looked at Yiyi at the same time, wanting to know who said this.
I saw an ordinary-looking, plainly dressed man sitting there, with a few side dishes in front of him, a stack of salted peanuts, and a pot of wine, with an indifferent expression. Even when everyone looked at him, he didn't have the slightest abnormality, as if he just said something casually, and he didn't feel that he had caused an uproar in the slightest.
Someone stared at him for a while, and said in disbelief: "What nonsense, it's ridiculous!" โ
Only then did everyone react, and one by one they booed, waved their hands and ignored them. Some people were also dissatisfied with his indiscriminate rumors, and shook their fists at him unceremoniously: "You kid doesn't spread rumors, how can the King of Chu be plotted and lose his martial arts?" You shouldn't be Dongwan's spy, who came to spread rumors and make trouble! โ
Immediately someone made a fuss, got up and wanted to go over to teach the man a lesson, but before he could do it, the man's eyes swept away, as if mocking everyone's ignorance, and said: "Believe it or not, you will know soon, when the martial arts competition begins, the King of Chu is defeated, and Prince Xiao is victorious, what do you know?" โ
"What the are you going to do again?" Someone looked fierce and shouted: "Believe it or not, Lao Tzu beat you?" โ
"What? I just saw that everyone didn't know before I told the truth, and you were going to beat me? โ
The man raised his eyebrows, and suddenly a chill emanated from his body, forcing everyone to be shocked, and they all retreated in unison, only to hear him sneer and say: "Whether you believe it or not, Nalan Ye, the king of Chu, has been plotted by someone, and he has no skills at present." The Chu Wangfu didn't say anything, but I was afraid that even His Majesty wouldn't know, hehehe...... There's going to be a good show. โ
After speaking, he picked up a peanut, poured another glass of wine, and drank it slowly.
At this moment, everyone was shocked, looking at this person's appearance and momentum, I was afraid that it was not out of nowhere.
But if it's true, then ......
One by one, everyone's eyes widened, and they couldn't believe it.
"Y-How do you know?" After being stunned for a moment, someone asked.
"yes, how do you know? Could it be that you are from the Chu Palace? No...... "As soon as someone asked, they immediately denied it, "Impossible, if you are from the Chu Palace, how can you talk about this kind of thing everywhere?" I'm afraid you did it, right? Could it be that you assassinated the King of Chu? โ
The crowd surged up, and they gathered around one by one, asking a clear question: "Tell me quickly, who are you?" Why do you know this secret? "It was also said that the king of Chu was plotted, did you do it?"
"Are you a spy of Dongwan or a spy of Southern Wei? If you don't make it clear today, don't think about leaving! โ
The entire lobby was like boiling water, and the man's table was even more impassable. Seeing that a group of excited people were about to make a move, when they pulled the placket of his clothes, they only heard the sound of the wind, and a figure rose from the ground.
"Whoaโ"
Countless bricks and tiles fell, and a large hole was broken through the lobby of the restaurant, and the person who was sitting in the position was gone.
Everyone grabbed the air, and immediately fell together, looking at each other one by one, struggling, shouting and shouting for help, and making a mess......
But in a moment, this matter flew all over the capital like a bird with wings.
Someone doubts, someone is surprised, someone ignores it......
At this time, in the royal martial arts arena, all the facilities have been arranged in advance, into a square, a total of three rows, each row is full of princes and nobles who came to watch the competition. In the middle of the north side of the martial arts arena, a red carpet was laid out on a three-foot-high platform, on which were two thrones carved with dragons and phoenixes, Nangong Qing and Su Yi sat on the left and right, with a faint and reserved smile on their faces.
In order to watch the martial arts competition between Nalan Ye and Xiao Yuqi, all the officials above the third rank came, and all of them were absent, and they were even more active than the early dynasty. This is a strong showdown between Dongwan and Xichu, which determines the future and destiny of a country, who doesn't want to see it with their own eyes?
In particular, some of the ladies and daughters, as well as the concubines who sat in the back and were covered by curtains, were also looking forward to it one by one, wanting to take a good look at Nalan Ye's demeanor and bravery.
Although Nalan Ye has married Luo Qingluan, and he still looks like a spoiled wife to the outside world, this has not made the daughters who love him and look forward to him forget at all, but are becoming more and more eager. Even if you can't be a concubine, it's okay to be a side concubine, or a concubine, as long as it's him!
Even if there is no hope for this, it would be good to at least be able to see Nalan Ye with his own eyes.
Everyone was looking forward to it, looking around, just hoping that Nalan Ye would appear as soon as possible and show his style.
"Your Majesty, look at this martial arts competition, King Chu shouldn't have any problems, right?" On the throne, Su Yi was wearing a phoenix crown, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, and whispered to Nangong Qing with a one-and-a-half-year-old little prince in her arms, with a touch of worry on her face.
It's not that she doesn't believe in Nalan Ye's ability, but this matter is very important, and even she can't help but worry about her quiet personality.
Nangong Qing didn't worry at all, even the Dongwan envoy beside him didn't care, and said directly: "Don't worry, I absolutely believe in Ziqing's ability." Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to this competition, and Dongwan, who must win, changed color and obediently handed over the two cities. Otherwise......"
The corners of his lips hooked, with a touch of pride, but a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and said: "Don't blame me for being ruthless, let them lose their only prince!" โ
"Your Majesty is inevitably too confident, even if the King of Chu is brave, but our Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not an ordinary person, and it is uncertain whether he will win or lose the competition." Hearing this, Dongwan's envoy's face changed, his lips moved, and he finally tried his best to control that he didn't say anything unpleasant.
"Hahahaha...... What Dongwan's envoy said is, but I absolutely believe in the King of Chu! โ
Nangong Qing raised his eyebrows, and said with a domineering attitude: "Queen, did you say?" โ
Thinking of what Xiao Yuqi did, although Su Yi was a little unbearable, she didn't say much, only nodded, and said with a slight smile: "The concubine naturally believes in Your Majesty and the King of Chu." โ
If Xiao Yuqi hadn't done those things, she wouldn't have almost separated from His Majesty, and she would have almost lost the emperor. Including Luo Qingluan's disappearance, and later amnesia, implicated countless people and lost countless lives...... These were all made by Xiao Yuqi, the prince of Dongwan.
Su Yi hated him very much, if it weren't for that, she wouldn't even say anything to plead.
Nangong Qing turned his head to look at the envoy of the Southern Wei Dynasty again, and said confidently: "The envoy of the Southern Wei Dynasty, what do you say?" Will I win the Wubi this time, or will I win in Xichu or Dongwan? โ
How do you answer this question?
The envoys of the Southern Wei Dynasty were not fools, how could they casually open their mouths to offend the other party before there was no result? The envoy of the Southern Wei Dynasty smiled: "Whether it is the King of Chu or Prince Xiao, they are both dragons and phoenixes among the people, and the martial arts competition will be wonderful, which will open my eyes." Win or lose, you will live up to this life, and the contemptible people will definitely witness it well, and only when you go back can you report to your majesty my lord. โ
"Hehe, what the envoys of the Southern Wei Dynasty said is very true." Nangong Qing said lightly and didn't care.
The other party made it clear that he was not guilty, and sure enough, it was an old fox, and what he said was not leaky.
Anyway, Nangong Qing didn't care, his focus was on the victory of Wubi, as well as the next medical gamble. As long as Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan succeed, it will be a great benefit to him Xichu!
At this moment, the Tobe Shangshu on one side looked at the sky, leaned over and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the hour is almost up." โ
The time of the official martial arts competition is just right, and it is almost past the hour, but the two sides of the competition have not yet appeared. Nangong Qing also knew that Nalan Ye's character had always been casual and uninhibited, and he would not follow the rules, so when he heard this, he sent someone to invite him, and said to the Dongwan envoy not far away: "It's almost, you Prince Xiao should be coming soon." โ
I heard a panicked exclamation: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty is not good......"
Nangong Qing and Su Yi turned their heads at the same time, only to see Sun Dafu's face full of shock and running over in a panic.
With a frown, Nangong Qing's face sank, and he stared at Sun Dafu silently. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have let Sun Dafu be dragged down a long time ago. In front of the envoys of Dongwan and the envoys of the Southern Wei Dynasty, what kind of system is it!
"If you have something to say, what are you doing in a panic?" He said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"
Sun Dafu couldn't control the panic and shock in his heart at all, and he was still trembling: "It's a big deal, I don't know why outside, outside, suddenly...... Suddenly, there were rumors that the king of Chu and the king of Chu were ...... He ......"
As soon as he heard that the matter was related to Nalan Ye, at this critical time, Nangong Qing's heart couldn't help but sink: "What's wrong with King Chu?" Say it! โ
Sun Dafu's whole person almost knelt on the ground, and his sweat was about to come out: "Your Majesty, there are rumors from the outside world, and it is ...... said that the king of Chu had fallen into a plot and had lost his martial arts! โ
"What!" Nangong Qing's pupils shrank sharply, and he rose up on the spot.
