Empress is a sick beauty

Ling Xi and the others were taken to the private room on the second floor by the staff, and they specially selected a location with the best lighting and the widest view.As soon as I was seated, the waiter immediately brought up the signboards upstairs, Biluochun and peach shortbread.

"Please slow down, sir."

Ling Xi nodded slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Seeing the buddy standing by the side without moving, Shen Rui gave him a sideways glance, "You don't need to serve here."

As if waking up from a big dream, the clerk quickly lowered his head and stepped back in small steps.

"Look, son, there are a lot of people down here." Ah Jiu looked around, his eyes were almost overwhelmed.

Just now I was watching in the car, and I only got a rough look at it, but now I was upstairs overlooking the panoramic view, only to realize that there are huge crowds of people, and the scene is very big.

Shen Rui pushed the dim sum plate towards Ling Xi, "What's the view here, if it's not good, I'll let them find a place."

"Don't worry about it, brother, it's fine here."

Ling Xi looked at the spectator stand, besides the magistrate Xu, there were several well-dressed masters, "Who are those people?"

Shen Rui took a look and said indifferently, "They belong to the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce."

Although the martial arts contest is presided over by the magistrate, other people must be invited to witness it together. The most suitable candidates are these foreign officials and wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou City.

Ling Xi searched the viewing platform from left to right, but did not see the shadow of Mr. Yi.If he is the son of Xu Zhifu, he should also be on the viewing platform.

Could it be that he is not interested in martial arts?But that person is obviously a martial arts practitioner.

Ah Jiu suddenly became excited, "It's started, it's started!"

The war drum beat three times, and the contestants entered the field one after another.Two-two battles, the winner stands on the stage to guard the ring, if there is someone in the audience to fight, they can go up to the stage to compete and then decide a new ring defender.If no one dares to fight again, the ring guard will be the winner.Assuming there are always people fighting, and the time expires when the sun goes down on that day, the last ring keeper will win in the end.

There are no rules for the fighting methods of the martial arts contest, and all eighteen kinds of martial arts can be used. As long as you can win, it doesn't matter even if you fight the Meteor Hammer with bare hands, it all depends on your individual ability.

The competition on the stage became more and more intense, and the onlookers in the audience were always watching the battle closely, gasping for breath, or clapping their hands.

"My lord, which of them do you think is better, the one with the sledgehammer? Or the one with the knife?" Ah Jiu chattered non-stop.

Ling Xi put down her teacup and picked up a piece of peach shortbread, "All are acceptable."

He was just watching the excitement, and it is not uncommon for him to have seen more thrilling scenes than this.

At this moment, a man with a long sword flew onto the stage, clasped his fists and said, "I'm here to learn the best tricks."

The strong man holding the hammer on the opposite side laughed twice, "Hero, be careful, I'm afraid your small body won't be able to withstand my hammer."

The man didn't feel angry after hearing this, and curled his lips, "The strong man is joking." He then turned to the stage and said to Xu Zhifu, "My lord, if I win the competition, I don't ask for a thousand taels of silver, I only ask for a peace before getting out of the carriage." Mr. Xingyi, who came up and down, had a good time talking about wine."

As soon as this remark came out, the onlookers seemed to explode.Nowadays, masculinity is prevalent, and many wealthy families have precedents of marrying male wives and male concubines.The young master's appearance just now is unavoidable to make people salivate, after what he said, it has to make people's imagination run wild.Some daring ones also started talking nonsense, and for a while, Wen Yinqianliang was forgotten by people, and they competed with each other for the opportunity to have a drink and chat.

"It's unreasonable!" Shen Rui jumped up, turned around and was about to go out.

Ling Xi grabbed his arm, "What are you doing, brother?"

"Go and beat up that brazen fellow."

Ling Xi tugged at him and did not let go, "Brother, don't worry, the competition is still going on, let's wait and see what happens, we are just ignorant and reckless, it is not worth getting angry. Could it be that they dare to come to Shen's house to make trouble?"

Shen Rui was lucky and sat down again, but his face was still ugly.

The yamen servant rang the gong, and Xu Zhifu raised his voice, "Silence! People on the stage, win the competition first, and then you can change the rules of the competition."

The man clasped his fists again, and suddenly drew his sword out. The long sword rushed straight at the strong man's face, like a white snake spitting out a letter, hissing and breaking the wind.The strong man relied on his own strength and confidence, but when he moved his hands, he felt a sudden difficulty, and was restrained by the opponent.After a while, the clothes on his body were scratched several times, and he took a few steps back, unable to do what he wanted.The hammer hit the ground with a bang, and the man kicked him off the stage.

"Oh my god! My lord, that guy actually won, what should I do?" Ah Jiu rubbed her hands worriedly, what if that guy wanted to rush up and pester his young master?

As the person involved, Ling Xi didn't realize it, and was still appreciating the man's few sword moves just now, "There's something."

After looking for so long, I finally saw a decent one.

The yamen servant beat the gong, "Is there anyone else on stage to challenge?"

The man stood on the stage with one hand behind his back, as if he was looking down on all living beings, enjoying the glory of the winner.Those warriors who were eager to compete on the stage just now are hesitant to go forward.The strength of the man is obvious to all, so it is no wonder that he uttered wild words, presumably he must have some skills to do so.

The yamen servant knocked the gong three times, "If no one comes to the stage, the young hero on the stage will be the winner of this martial arts tournament."

"Wait a minute."

A blue shadow flew towards the stage, and the people suddenly fell silent. Not only the people in the magistrate's yamen were startled, but even Ling Xi was surprised.

How is he?

Yun Yi didn't care about etiquette, only held a sword, raised her head slightly, "Come down to learn."

The yamen servant looked at Xu Zhifu in a panic, Xu Zhifu barely closed his mouth, pretended to be calm, and waved his hands at the yamen servant.

A new round of competition started, the opponent took the lead in making moves, Yunyi responded to all changes without change, in the eyes of outsiders, he only defended but not attacked, barely blocking the opponent's attack.

Ah Jiu couldn't help worrying, "Can this boy in blue win? The other party seems to be better."

Ling Xi suddenly laughed, "He's teasing the sword."

When there is a disparity in strength between the two sides, the stronger side will often give the other side a few tricks at the beginning, saying it is courteous, but in fact it is to tease the other side.

After the three moves, Yunyi seemed to be a different person, and the sword was swift and sharp, so fast that people couldn't catch the shadow.Only after the fourth move, the opponent was cornered.

Yun Yi instinctively clicked as far as he could, but he chose to be thick.violent way.The man was ruthlessly kicked off the ring, his face fell to the ground, and he fell straight into the mud.

"Good fight!" Ah Jiu clapped his hands and applauded, making the guy dare to hit his young master's idea.

Yun Yi put away his sword, and the gong rang three more times, no one dared to go up to the stage to fight.

The yamen servant said loudly, "This is the end of the martial arts competition! Next, the president of Yangzhou will award the winner 1000 taels of silver."

It was Shen Rui's turn to play, and Ling Xi also went down the Guanyu Tower.When the eldest brother came to the stage, he waited at the door.

The box had already been brought to the front, but Yun Yi suddenly said, "You don't need to give me these silver taels, they will be distributed and used for the livelihood of the people in Yangzhou City."

Hearing his words, the people who had been watching the excitement shouted loudly, and the movement was even louder than when they were watching the martial arts competition.When they looked at the stage again, everyone's eyes changed from envy to worship, and some even shouted that the Bodhisattva came to the world.

Yun Yi didn't care about this, and looked past the crowd, and landed on the thin figure in front of the gate of Guanyu Tower.He suddenly jumped up lightly, passed over the heads of the people, and landed in front of Ling Xi.

Ling Xi was still recollecting the move Yun Yi used just now, and in a blink of an eye he was in front of him.

"Master Yi, good swordsmanship."

Seeing that people didn't talk to each other, Ling Xi blinked, and couldn't help laughing, "Young Master Yi doesn't want to reward you, but you come to stare at me. Could it be that you want to have a drink with me?"

It was originally a joke, but seeing the other party's delay in vetoing it, Ling Xi secretly thought, could it be that he was right?

Yun Yi sank before asking, "I can promise you a request, what do you want to do most now?"

Ling Xi was dumbfounded by his question, how can anyone win the competition and ask him what he wants when he doesn't want anything?

"Ling Xi!"

Hearing the elder brother's voice, Ling Xi thought in his heart that if he didn't leave, the elder brother might rush over to argue with Mr. Yi.

With a thought, he suddenly leaned closer and whispered in Yun Yi's ear, "I want to enjoy the moon."

After finishing speaking, he immediately distanced himself, showing a slight smile, "There will be a period later." After speaking, he turned and walked towards the carriage.

Until returning to Shen's residence, Ling Xi still made sword moves secretly, feeling very happy.But Shen Rui had mixed feelings, seeing his younger brother happy, he was naturally happy too, but there was an episode at the meeting, and that Mr. Yi seemed to be haunted, which always made people feel unhappy.

In the backyard, an old woman leaned on a cane and was supported by a maid, standing in the middle of the courtyard as if waiting for someone.

Seeing Ling Xi and the others coming back, the old woman hurried a few steps, "Master is back."

"Grandma?"

Ling Xi rushed forward to support the old woman instead of the servant girl, "Grandma, why are you standing here?"

"I'll go out for a few steps, and it's okay to stay indoors without seeing the light." The old woman looked at Ling Xi with kindness in her eyes, "I heard that the young master went out with the eldest young master to watch the martial arts arena early in the morning, how about it? Does it look good?"

"It's amazing."

Seeing Ling Xi's happy smile, the old woman also smiled, "It's good that you are happy, I haven't seen you so happy in a long time, just pay attention to your body."

Seeing this, Shen Rui stepped forward to comfort him, "Don't worry, Mrs. Fu, I will take care of Ling Xi, and nothing will happen to him."

Grandma Fu nodded, "Thanks to the eldest son."

"Granny Fu, you are polite."

No matter how Shen Rui puts on airs as a young master to others outside, when he returns home and faces the grandparents and grandchildren, he immediately loses his temper.He loves this younger brother as much as his own brother.Grandma Fu is Ling Xi's mother's nanny, and Ling Xi has already respected her as her own elder, so he naturally respects her along with her.

"Grandma, I'll help you into the room and tell me about the meeting." Ling Xi said while supporting Grandma Fu.

Shen Rui followed closely with a smile on his face. At this time, a servant sent an invitation card. He glanced at it, and immediately lost all smiles.

The invitation was directed at Ling Xi, and it was signed with the word "wing".

Who else could it be if it wasn't that guy?

"Just say that the young master is unwell and cannot attend the appointment. You don't need to disturb the young master about this matter."

The servant hesitated, "The letter was sent by the magistrate's servant, will it be..."

Shen Rui raised his hand to stop him from continuing, "Just do as I tell you."
