The Peach Blossoms of the Lone Star of Tiansha

Yin Mochu's victory in this match was extremely clean and beautiful, perhaps because the match against Liancheng just now was so disappointing.So at the end of his match, there was constant applause in the arena, only the young man who won had a cold face, as if winning or losing this match had nothing to do with him.

The competition that followed was even more lackluster, causing no further disturbances.Soon, the third match began.

This match is about strategy theory. It seems that if you want to be the prince's personal bodyguard, you must not only pass the martial arts, but also have a bit of culture.This worries a lot of unlearned and incompetent children of aristocratic families. If they could understand Chinese and ink, they would have taken part in the imperial examinations and made their official careers. Do they still need to compete desperately here! ?

So for a while, everyone was scratching their ears and cheeks, suffering unspeakably, and their pens were almost bitten out.

Looking around, there are only two people who are out of place in the entire field.Yin Mochu had a calm face, and after getting the examination paper, he wrote it calmly, quite confidently.

As soon as Liancheng got the exam papers, he wished he could bury his whole body in it. Looking at the exam papers, he remained motionless for a long time, but there was a soft snoring.There was an uproar in the stands, this man fell asleep in full view!

In the prince's stand, the fifth prince stared at Liancheng's behavior in a daze, and endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back, and asked his brother in a low voice:

"Does he want to sleep until the end?"

Faced with his younger brother's question, Nangong Chao originally wanted to say how it was possible, but when he thought about the various performances of the chief assistant just now, he suddenly felt that he could not draw a conclusion so quickly.

Sure enough, in this scene, Liancheng fell asleep directly.When I handed in the paper at the end, I handed in a blank paper directly.

After the competition, it was naturally Yin Mochu who stole the limelight.Everyone knows that the second youngest of the Yin family is an all-rounder with both civil and military skills.In stark contrast to him was the first assistant son, who was at the bottom of the three competitions, and he was able to produce a moth in each of the competitions, which was impressive, and he could be called a rare flower that is rare in the world.

After this competition is over, it will be the final competition. Those who pass the three competitions will stay in the Martial Arts Arena, and the princes will choose each of them, and they will go to the Wuling Mountain behind the Martial Arts Arena to find the hidden tokens.

Liancheng was at the bottom of the audience, so naturally he was not selected.But this was definitely a happy event for him. After hearing the announcement from the invigilator, he didn't feel any sorrow at all. Instead, he happily took Sun Xiangying, who was also unsuccessful, to leave.It's just that he was stopped by Yin Mochu at the door before he appeared in the martial arts arena. The young man's originally handsome and cold face was quite proud at this moment. He spoke every word, deliberately biting the last few words:

"Lian Ziyu. You lost."

"Yes, I lost." Liancheng admitted it happily, and Yin Mochu was surprised, the young man's expression froze for a moment, as if he didn't know how to deal with it.

Sun Xiangying, who was beside Liancheng, couldn't bear Yin Mochu's showing off very much. Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking and only thought he was demonstrating, he immediately said angrily:

"What's the big deal, who has never won!"

Yin Mochu never heard anything, just stared at Liancheng, and said word by word:

"You promised me."

"Well, I know. How about going somewhere with you? Do you want to go now?"

"...Not really." Yin Mochu was a little dazed, seeing that Liancheng still had a smiling face, he endured it for a while before asking in disbelief:

"You, are you willing to accompany me?" After saying this, she realized that she was too weak, and her face was a little embarrassed.Liancheng didn't want to look at him at all, and embraced Sun Xiangying, his smile remained unchanged, and his answer was always casual:

"Yes. I am willing to bet and admit defeat. If I lose, I will accompany you naturally."

His attitude finally made the starlight in Yin Mochu's eyes go out, he stopped talking, and looked at his fingertips, dazed.

Liancheng was in no mood to pester him any longer:

"Second Master Yin, is there nothing else to do? If there is no other order, I will leave first."

Without waiting for his answer, he hugged Sun Xiangying in a dawdly manner, turned around and left. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the door, he bumped into someone and turned the corner.

The emperor brought the five princes into the martial arts arena to choose their own guards for them to compete in the final stage.It just so happened that Lian Cheng was too busy talking to Yin Mochu and missed the time to leave the arena, so he collided with the most difficult sixth prince.

The two of them were head-to-head, and they collided with each other with a crisp sound. Presumably, they were seriously injured.The eunuch Zheng Fuqing, who was serving beside the emperor, was so frightened that he let out a groan, and quickly stepped forward to help the sixth highness, and sternly reprimanded:

"Bold slave, you are blind."

Liancheng was hit and fell to the ground, clutching his forehead.Hearing this, he slightly raised one eye, but smiled before saying anything:

"Isn't it just that I was knocked blind just now?"

These words made people angry and funny, Zheng Fuqing was furious, before he had time to explode, he was stopped by His Majesty with a chuckle, he stepped forward to help Liancheng himself, and said with a gentle smile:

"Isn't this Lian Aiqing's son Yu?"

Lian Qingyan who was on the side only hated why she gave birth to such a rebellious son, and wished to pack him up whole and stuff it back into her mother's womb.Now that His Majesty personally called by name, he came out reluctantly and responded:

"Your Majesty laughed, it's Wei Chen's useless dog."

"Long live my emperor." Liancheng was quick-witted and saluted quickly.Sun Xiangying also hurriedly followed, and even more winkingly, after saluting, she rushed to stand beside his father Zuo Sima calmly.

With Liancheng as a living target here attracting everyone's attention, Sun Xiangying melted into the sea like a drop of water, and instantly disappeared, as if disappearing.

Liancheng secretly scolded Sun Xiangying for being such a disloyal person, but he still had a smiling face on his face. He is quite interested in Liancheng now. Seeing him being a good boy, his smile deepened:

"Lian Aiqing's son is very interesting. The competition just now left a deep impression on me."

Lian Qingyan was taken aback for a moment, not knowing whether these words were a blessing or a curse.Fortunately, he has had many years of ups and downs in his official career, and such occasions can be considered at his fingertips, so he immediately considered a moderate answer:

"You made Your Majesty laugh. This son of Weichen, because he pitied him for losing his mother in his early years, spoiled him too much. If he spoils him, he can accomplish nothing, and I am ashamed."

"My lord Lian's words are ridiculous. I have seen that your son is very outstanding. He sleeps with his head covered in the exam. After finishing the exam with a blank paper, he will only run away when fighting. If he can't run, he will surrender. I think this kind of behavior is the same in this world. Few people can match it.”

The one who interrupted suddenly was Nangongci, who had been bumped into by Liancheng. At this moment, he was covering his forehead, with a cold face and a serious tone.

It is extremely presumptuous to interrupt suddenly when the emperor is talking.Today's face is slightly gloomy, but he didn't reprimand his disobedient young son immediately.

Nangongci has always been so unruly, rough-skinned and thick-skinned, he just pretended not to see his father's ugly face, and looked at Lian Qingyan with a sneer, making the latter smile awkwardly :

"My minister is incompetent in teaching, and the Sixth Highness laughed at me." As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Liancheng, not knowing when his son had offended the Living Hades.

Liancheng looked indifferent, still smiling, as if he didn't care about the sarcasm in Nangongci's words.

The eldest prince suddenly spoke, and said with a gentle smile:

"Sixth brother doesn't have to be so strict. I think Mr. Lian's arrow skills are very good. The ability to kill two birds with one stone is one in a million. I implore my father to give Mr. Lian another chance so that he can participate in this competition. "

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned.Liancheng's expression was even more unpredictable. He was about to say something, but his father secretly pulled his sleeve hard. He pondered for a moment, but finally had no choice but to give up.

And today, Tianzi seemed to be thinking about this proposal, but he had an idea in a moment, he smiled and said:

"That's right, Ziyu's archery skills are indeed rare in the world. It's a pity to be buried like this. Since he is Lian Aiqing's beloved son, I will give him another chance to participate in this competition."

Liancheng frowned, but his father was overjoyed, pulled him and knelt down to thank him:

"Weichen and Quanzi thank Your Majesty Long En!"

"Aiqing is free."

His Majesty seems to be in a good mood now, laughing and striding past them.Several princes followed behind, and the eldest prince deliberately walked slowly and fell behind.

Lian Qingyan wanted to salute and thank the eldest prince again when he saw the eldest prince, but was stopped by the latter:

"Your Excellency doesn't need to be like this, Ziyu's arrow technique is indeed outstanding, and that's why my father and I cherish our talents."

"His Royal Highness is full of praise. If it weren't for His Highness's help, how could my incompetent son get this opportunity."

The eldest prince was also very happy when he heard this, and patted Liancheng's shoulder gently, with a somewhat intimate tone:

"Ziyu, it's up to you next."

Liancheng didn't speak, just let him pat.It's just that the natural smiling face seemed to be a little cold, showing a bit of alienation and fatigue.

Suddenly, Nangongci, who was walking in front, turned his head for some reason, and was stunned when he saw this scene, and then raised his lips to show a mocking smile at Liancheng.Liancheng knew the meaning of that smile very well. The sixth prince was laughing at his own lack of strength, but he had a good father, so he could go through the back door.

Normally, Liancheng would definitely find such a smile an eyesore, but now he feels that the sneer on that yin and yang face is much more pleasing to the eye than the gentle and benevolent smile of the eldest prince next to him.

Just like that, Liancheng, who had already been kicked out, swaggered back to the martial arts arena with the emperor and princes.It was also announced that he was also one of the candidates for the prince's bodyguards. None of the remaining people in the martial arts field had gone through a lot of experience to stay until the end. When Dou heard that the person who came through the back door was treated the same as them, his expression was a little ugly.

Yin Mochu has been gnashing his teeth and staring at Liancheng ever since he saw him coming in, and he is more proud of the sarcasm on his Qingjun face.As a result, Liancheng didn't bother to look at him at all from the beginning to the end, and just stared at the sky in a daze.

Zeng Yiping, the strong Southwest man who was fighting with Liancheng just now, was also among them. He blushed when he saw Liancheng's conditioned reflex.

Lian Cheng didn't dislike this straight Southwestern guy, he just found it funny to see him glaring at him, and raised his eyebrows at him, making Zeng Yiping almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

Yin Mochu looked at this scene coldly, and an unstoppable hatred suddenly rose in his heart.He clenched his fists violently, and looked angry at Liancheng again.

The princes began to choose the guards, and the eldest prince was the eldest, so naturally he was the one to choose first.And Liancheng was re-selected because of his affection, so Nangongyao didn't hesitate much, and directly ordered Liancheng.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished ordering, Nangong Ci suddenly launched an attack:

"Brother! My younger brother has something to say first. I have already taken a fancy to Mr. Lian. What? Is this elder brother trying to steal someone from my younger brother?"

These words are extremely arrogant, but Nangong Yao is not angry at all, he still has that gentle smiling face, and the words he said are soft and soft:

"Sixth brother, don't get angry, you also know that I am not good at riding and shooting, and Ziyu is by my side, which just makes up for my shortcomings..."

"So, elder brother can disregard brotherhood and insist on robbing younger brother?"

Nangong Ci didn't even bother to wait for him to finish speaking, and continued to ask aggressively.Nangongyao could only give a wry smile, looked helplessly at Nangongci, then at Liancheng, and said softly:

"It seems that the sixth brother likes Ziyu very much, but the eldest brother also has his own difficulties. Why don't we let Ziyu choose by himself? Let's see who he wants to follow?"

This seems fair, but everyone knows that Liancheng was re-elected only because of the eldest prince's intercession.It's not hard to guess how he will choose!Nangong Ci immediately wanted to speak out against it, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by His Majesty:

"Enough!" He said lightly, moody and angry.But immediately silenced the audience, and even Nangong Ci, who had always been domineering, obediently shut up.

Today's eyes swept over the two sons one by one, and finally seemed a little tired:

"Just do as the boss says."

Liancheng didn't expect that he would actually be allowed to choose in the end, his peach blossom eyes rolled around, as if he still couldn't believe it, he pointed at himself and asked emphatically again:

"Do you really want me to choose?"

Nangongyao still had that gentle and amiable appearance: "Ziyu doesn't need to worry, you can choose at ease, and the sixth brother and I will not make things difficult for you."

Nangong Ci rolled his eyes towards the sky, and expressed his approval with his nose: "Hmph!"

Liancheng's eyes turned back and forth on the two princes, looked at them for a while, and then slowly walked in front of the eldest prince.Nangongyao had expected it a long time ago, and there was no surprise on his face. He was about to speak, but he heard Liancheng ask him a question first:

"Your Highness, do you think I'm good at archery, so you choose me to be your bodyguard?"

Although Nangongyao felt that his question was inexplicable, he still replied gently: "Yes, Ziyu's arrow skills are rare in the world."

Who knows, as soon as he finished answering Liancheng, he frowned, as if he said with great regret:

"Then it seems that His Majesty and I are almost destined. After all, my arrow skills are terrible, and that arrow really happened to be hit by my luck."

He spoke very sincerely, but Nangong Yao's face froze.Of course he knew that Liancheng was refusing him, it was tantamount to slapping someone in the face, and Liancheng's slap really slapped him in the face.

Nangongci had already burst into laughter, not saving any face for his elder brother, so he pointed it out directly:

"It seems that Mr. Lian doesn't want to follow Eldest Brother! Eldest Brother, it's better not to force others."

Liancheng didn't seem to hear what he said, but just asked politely:

"May I ask Your Highness, can I choose?"

Nangongyao's complexion was ugly, Nangongci only felt happy, and even looked at the unpleasant Lian Ziyu, who was a little bit pleasing to the eye, and it was rare to be a little bit pleasant:

"Okay, you choose."

The person who was called suddenly smiled, his eyes were as bright as stars, and Nangong Ci couldn't look away for a moment.I saw his pale finger pointing, but it passed him and Nan Gongyao, and stopped on one person:

"I choose the third highness."

The author has something to say:

Third Highness: I refuse.
