The emperor's daily online flirting
Chapter 23 Lost the bet
Si Ruihan's words reminded Xiao Jingyuan of the country of Lan. This country is located in a remote location, lacks resources, and is sparsely populated. Because the west is mostly desert, there are some nomadic peoples, who act rough and informal.
"King Zhennan is very capable, he can recruit any kind of people." Xiao Jingyuan said with a half-smile.
After this man took the stage, he formed a very sharp contrast with Zhou Cixin. Whether it was in terms of size or strength, he had an overwhelming advantage. Although he was so tall and mighty, he was still very flexible in his actions.
Zhou Cixin thought he was very skilled, but he also felt powerless. But in the end, he also practiced martial arts since he was a child. After the two of them performed ten moves, he found the opponent's weakness.
After a dodge, he swept across his legs, kicked the opponent to the ground, and then completely kicked the opponent off the ring. This victory won him bursts of applause and cheers, and he also won the first place in the competition.
"The emperor said that the Zhennan Palace will not be related to the leader of the martial arts alliance." Si Ruihan said indifferently while holding a teacup.
"Unfortunately, I can't find anyone who is stronger than him. I thought Li Mo could give it a try, but it's okay after thinking about it." Xiao Jingyuan said lightly.
"Why forget it?" Si Ruihan put down his cup and said calmly.
"The Zhou family, there is a reason why we can't." One Zhou family is enough to explain everything, Xiao Jingyuan didn't point it out, but he also saw through everything in a short game.
Si Ruihan's mother's surname is Zhou, and this man named Zhou Cixin has paid attention to Si Ruihan several times, but the calmness in Si Ruihan's words is not enough to prove his guess.
It was no surprise that Xiao Jingyuan was able to guess Si Ruihan. Xiao Jingyuan seemed unrestrained, but he didn't know anything, as long as he wanted to know, he was capable of knowing.
"The emperor is not curious, why did the Zhou family participate and fight for the top spot?" Si Ruihan asked indifferently.
"After all, they didn't come to take my life. Since they are not my enemies, they are my allies. Besides, they are your relatives, so they are worthy of trust." Xiao Jingyuan said frankly.
The two waited for a while, then got up and walked back, they deliberately slowed down their pace, and sure enough, they met Zhou Cixin and the young man beside him outside Zhennan Palace.
Seeing Xiao Jingyuan and Si Ruihan, the old housekeeper at the side immediately knelt down and bowed down. Zhou Cixin raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Jingyuan, not at all surprised that the other party was the emperor.
On the contrary, when he saw Si Ruihan, his exquisite eyebrows and eyes were slightly puzzled and worried...
Seeing that the two people beside him had no intention of kneeling, the steward of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion frowned, turned his head and was about to speak out, but unexpectedly, Xiao Jingyuan who was on the opposite side spoke first, "Both of you, you are here He must be the master who wins this martial arts competition."
Zhou Cixin raised his eyebrows when he heard Xiao Jingyuan's question, and looked directly at him, "That's right, I don't know... are you two distinguished guests of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?"
"Exactly, the two of us were doing business in the middle of the capital. We had a chance with the King of Zhennan many years ago. We passed by here this time, so we paid a visit." Xiao Jingyuan said it with a nose and eyes, but the housekeeper who was kneeling beside him suddenly Did not come back to God.
"Hey, if that's the case, then he..." The young man next to Zhou Cixin pointed to the kneeling butler, and asked rather puzzled, with hints of smiles flashing in his translucent eyes.
Si Ruihan raised his hand to lift the butler up, and said in a nonchalant manner, "The old butler is old, so he needs to be careful when walking. If he steps on a rock and falls, he will always be misunderstood by others."
As he said that, he exerted a little force on his hand. The housekeeper had been in the Zhennan Palace for many years, so he was naturally exquisite, so he smiled, and then said, "Oh, I'm getting old, it's useless."
Zhou Cixin smiled faintly, "So, let's go in together."
The four of them entered the Zhennan Prince's Mansion together. At this moment, Xiao Mushan was waiting in the hall early. The old housekeeper quickly stepped forward and whispered something in his ear. Xiao Mushan saw four people When they entered the door together, the corners of their eyes twitched.
Zhou Cixin stepped forward and cupped his hands, "King of Zhennan."
There was no flattery, but polite alienation. Xiao Mushan felt dissatisfied in his heart, but since the other party was the son of the martial arts leader, he could only bear with it. After all, there are still many places that need them in the future, so be patient. The amount of people.
Xiao Mushan nodded, and said approvingly, "Mr. Zhou is young and promising. This time, he won the martial arts contest to recruit relatives. He won easily. It's really amazing."
"My lord's praise, it's just... this time is a martial arts competition... recruiting relatives?" Zhou Cixin asked in surprise, looking quite puzzled, his expression was confused and not fake.
Xiao Mushan squinted his eyes, and the corners of his eyes twitched, "Young Master Zhou?"
Zhou Cixin reached out and patted the boy's head, and said with a straight face, "Yao'er, is this kind of joke possible?"
The young man called Yao'er curled his lips, and said a little aggrieved, "Brother, I... I was wrong."
Zhou Cixin took a deep breath, turned to look at Xiao Mushan, "Please forgive me, my lord, my brother is stubborn, and when he saw the arena, he clamored to make a bet with me. If I win, he will listen to me honestly from now on. If I lose, I have to promise him a request."
As he spoke, he sighed, stretched out his hands to pinch the space between his brows, and said a little tiredly, "I don't know, but this martial arts competition... actually invites relatives."
Xiao Mushan's face darkened a little because of Zhou Cixin's words, so he didn't believe the other party's nonsense, but now that Xiao Jingyuan was sitting here, he couldn't get angry, so he could only speak.
"Young Master Zhou, even if you don't know, it's true that you won, and it's true that the Zhennan Prince's Palace has recruited relatives to compete in martial arts. Now the whole city knows about it. If you don't admit it, what face will the Zhennan Palace have! "
At the end, Xiao Mushan's tone was tainted with anger, and he was really a little annoyed. Zhou Cixin raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was puzzled, "Why is the prince so angry? I just said that I have never heard of it, but I didn't say anything. Don't marry."
Xiao Mushan gripped the armrest of the chair tightly, "What do you mean by that?"
"Literally." Zhou Cixin looked at Xiao Mushan and said.
"My Zhou family is also a well-known family in the Jianghu martial arts world. Although it is not comparable to the imperial power and nobles, it is not an ordinary family. If I want to marry, I will naturally have to think carefully." Zhou Cixin said.
"My eldest daughter, what considerations do I need!" Xiao Mushan said coldly.
"The prince is wrong. I'm not saying that the prince's daughter is not good. On the contrary, she is too good. I need to consider it. Besides, I also need a letter of divorce to be delivered to my home. If I agree , if I don’t pass by the family, I’m afraid I, Zhou Cixin, will be removed from the family in the future.” Zhou Cixin said flatly.
"you……"
How could Xiao Mushan fail to hear the threat in the other party's words, what he needed was not only Zhou Cixin, but also the Zhou family behind him, and even the entire Wulin, naturally he would not allow Zhou Cixin to be expelled from his family.
"Since ancient times, it's reasonable and reasonable for parents to order and matchmaker's words, even if it's a martial arts competition, to inform the elders in the family, and let the elders make the decision." Si Ruihan picked up the teacup in hand and spoke softly.
Si Ruihan's words brought Xiao Mushan back to his senses, he looked sideways at the other party, his eyes showed an unknown light, Si Ruihan just lowered his head slightly, "I just listened for a long time, I don't know which martial arts family this Young Master Zhou belongs to Son?"
"Hey, we are the leader of the martial arts alliance, descendants of the Zhou family, I am Zhou Cinian, and this is my elder brother Zhou Cixin." Zhou Cinian said proudly, raising his head.
The corner of Xiao Mushan's mouth twitched when he heard the other party's self-reported family name, and then he heard Xiao Jingyuan chuckle, "It turns out that they are the descendants of the Zhou family, the leader of the martial arts alliance, but they are really... a famous family."
Xiao Mushan's face was completely gloomy at this moment, now that Zhou Cixin's identity had been exposed, if he forced him to agree, I'm afraid it would be nothing.
"It's because I didn't think carefully, but since I won the contest, the two of you should temporarily stay in Zhennan Palace." Xiao Mushan said.
Regarding this, Zhou Cixin did not refuse. For him, it is the same wherever he lives, but it is naturally good to have a good room without having to pay for it himself.
suitable night
"You really got rid of his thoughts today." Xiao Jingyuan warmed Si Ruihan's feet just like last night, he said with a smile while rubbing.
"If he can really give up the idea of using the Zhou family because of my words, then he won't be the King of Zhennan who broke the mountain and smashed the ax back then." Si Ruihan sighed, holding a miscellaneous book in his hand and said, He glanced at Xiao Jingyuan lightly and then looked away.
"But at least let him be cautious. He knows that we know Zhou Cixin's identity, so he will never act rashly without full assurance." Xiao Jingyuan said.
"The emperor thinks, what will Zhennan Wang do next?" Si Ruihan put the half-read book beside the bed and said calmly.
"King Zhennan doesn't have enough power in his hands, and he can't figure out how many people I have brought this time. If he wants to move me, he must think carefully. If he assassinates me, but makes a wedding dress for others, wouldn't it be a waste of time?" Field?" Xiao Jingyuan said with a smile.
"Can he hold his breath?" Si Ruihan asked.
"As you said, I've delivered it to my door, will he hold his breath?" Xiao Jingyuan said.
"Even if he can hold his breath, the emperor came up with the purpose of investigation. Spring droughts frequently occur in the southern regions, and it has not been a year or two. The imperial court distributes disaster relief money every year, but the people may not benefit. This town The Nanwang Mansion has been here for many years, and the annual expenses of such a grand mansion are not a small sum."
"Besides, if he has thought about it, he will definitely not not recruit private soldiers. Raising soldiers is an expensive matter. No matter how rich the Zhennan Palace is, it cannot afford such consumption." Si Ruihan said.
"So, he is full of torment now, he wants to get rid of me but he doesn't dare to act rashly." Xiao Jingyuan said with a smile.
"King Zhennan is very capable, he can recruit any kind of people." Xiao Jingyuan said with a half-smile.
After this man took the stage, he formed a very sharp contrast with Zhou Cixin. Whether it was in terms of size or strength, he had an overwhelming advantage. Although he was so tall and mighty, he was still very flexible in his actions.
