Today's palace is heavily guarded but singing and dancing are peaceful. During the banquet, wine and wine are intertwined. The maids in light pink palace dresses hold trays and walk among the guests with the most dignified manner.

The Qing Kingdom's envoys came to Xiang Kingdom, and today's banquet is to clean up the dust for him and form the state of the two countries.

"Your Majesty, when the foreign minister was in the Qing Kingdom, he heard that the regent's martial arts were superb, and he was the number one expert in the Xiang Kingdom. Unfortunately, the foreign minister was the first in the Qing Kingdom, and he had admired the name of the regent for a long time. Try it out?"

A young man in brocade clothes stepped forward, cupped his hands and said to the emperor sitting at the top.

As soon as this remark came out, the courtiers who were originally smiling and complimented were stunned for a moment.

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, and soon, the scene heated up again.

Shen Ji reluctantly withdrew his attention from the corner of his eye to Xijue, and looked at the person who walked out.

Xiang Xijue's eyes could finally fall on Shen Ji in an upright manner. He paused for a while, and then smiled at the envoy: "Of course, this matter depends on the opinion of the regent. What does the regent think?"

Shen Ji met Xiang Xijue's gaze, and slowly smiled, "As the regent of Xiangguo, it is my duty to do so."

Xiang Xijue couldn't help showing a smile, he was looking forward to it.

In his mind, the Prince Regent would naturally not lose.

After Shen sent the words, the atmosphere was completely stirred up.

This competition is not only a competition between the two, but also a face between the two countries.

Although Qingguo is going to Xiangguo this time, none of the ministers are good people, and the purpose of Qingguo is clear.

Qingguo, as the second largest country in the mainland after Xiangguo in terms of comprehensive strength, is eyeing Xiangguo covetously, and if you don't pay attention, you will be bitten off a piece of meat. With this provocation now, you can only win but not lose.

"The regent is really brave. My surname is Xia, and my name is Zi'an. I have admired you for a long time." Xia Zian smiled at Shen Ji.

"Shen Ji." Shen Ji also bowed his hands, "Please."

It is inappropriate to dance with knives and guns at a banquet, this time the competition is all about fist kung fu.

In the eyes of outsiders, this competition may be Qingguo's provocation against Xiangguo, but Shen Ji will not take it lightly.

His opponent is a martial artist, not those so-called people who just want to beat him down and then laugh at him.

No matter at any time when he meets any aboveboard challenge, he will not take his opponent lightly.

He used to face many people who claimed to be number one in the world, but in the end they lost completely because of their contempt.

Respecting your opponent in the arena is also respecting yourself.

Naturally, he suppressed his strength and placed him on an equal footing with the opponent.

It is really helpless, if his strength matches this person, it is unfair to say.

The two hand over each other, and the competition officially begins.

Xiang Xijue stared closely at the figures of the two coming and going. He had heard of Xia Zian's reputation. He was known as the number one master in the Qing Dynasty. He had challenged the masters of the other three countries before, winning the first place all the way.

He had reason to believe that he proposed the competition this time because he really wanted to compete with the regent.

Xiang Xijue is also a martial arts practitioner, and he is naturally interested in the martial arts competition between fighters. Besides, he has always heard that the regent's martial arts are outstanding, but he has never seen the regent's skill. He has actually been looking forward to today's scene for a long time .

After suppressing those forces that did not belong to this world, Shen Ji was still very strong, but he went all out against his opponents, but after ten moves, Shen Ji's fingertips reached Xia Zian's throat.

Shen Ji won.

Xiang Xijue took the lead in applauding. The smile on his face couldn't be restrained, but it didn't look weird in the eyes of the officials. The officials of their own country won the competition, and they should be happy.

"Acceptance." Shen Ji withdrew his hand and cupped his fists.

His face was pale, showing no triumphant arrogance.

Xia Zi'an's strength is indeed good, if not for the limitation of the plane, he should be able to reach a higher level.

"The regent really lives up to his reputation, he has been educated!"

Xia Zi'an smiled, not dejected, he lost, but he was convinced of the loss.

He has always been looking for an opponent who can defeat him, so that he can target the opponent and surpass him.

Although this battle was short, it was very exciting, even those civil servants who didn't understand martial arts had to say hello when they saw it.

Shen Ji walked back to his seat, his eyes met Xiang Xijue's from a distance, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Xiang Xijue didn't know where the courage came from, so she also smiled at him.

Different from the polite alienation in the past, this time it was a smile from the heart.

No matter which plane, children look good when they smile.

Shen Ji's fishing plan was half successful.

Next, it was time to promote Qu Congchuan's plan.

The kid should see his uncle thoroughly.

-

For the past few days, every time Xiang Xijue fell asleep at night, Shen Ji's figure would appear in his dreams, every time it was redemption, bringing him out of those places that suffocated him.

But every time after waking up from the daydream, the man seemed alienated from him.

In vain as an emperor, he couldn't understand why there was such a big difference in the attitude towards him before and after.

He intuited what plan the other party was carrying out, and advised himself to get out in time, but he still seemed unable to control his heart, and fell into it step by step.

What was even more irritating was that Xia Zi'an had been looking for him at the Prince Regent's mansion every day since he had a martial arts competition with the Prince Regent, wanting to learn martial arts with him.

The regent didn't even refuse!

When he heard this, he was so angry that his gums were almost crushed. He was so indifferent to him in front of him, but he took care of him and cared for him that much at night.

He suspected that he had hysteria, and even asked the imperial physician to see him on the pretext of being sick, but the result was that his physical condition was getting better day by day.

The queen mother said that when he doesn't think about eating and drinking for a person, can't sleep at night when he can't see him, and is full of joy when he sees him, he is tempted.

But what he is doing now is completely unrequited love, not to mention that both of them are men, so there will be no results.

Every time he thinks about it, Xiang Xijue feels heartache like a knife.

"Brother Shen, I don't think you are so busy every day, why don't you have time to compete with me? I really have a problem and want to ask you for advice."

Xia Zi'an rested his chin and ate melon seeds in boredom, looking helplessly at the man painting opposite.

The man concentrated on painting and ignored him.

But after a few days, they have been able to call each other brothers.

Xia Zian clapped his hands, walked around to Shen Ji's side, took a closer look, and his pupils dilated instantly.

He swallowed, "Brother Shen, are you presenting this to His Majesty your country?"

Why else would a man paint another man's portrait? !

That person is still the current emperor of Xiangguo. Although he has heard that the emperor of Xiangguo is just a puppet emperor, he doesn't take him too seriously, right?

"En." Shen Ji responded, put down his brush, looked at the portrait for a while, and then smiled with satisfaction.

Xia Zian's eyes turned to Shen Ji's smile, and he felt even more creepy.

This laugh is so dangerous.
