Chapter 444 Your Majesty is more beautiful than a peach blossom
Is the empress coming?
In front of the Martial Arts Hall, the two sides who were at war with each other were stunned at the same time. Without Zhao Duan's instructions, a group of worshipers headed by Tang Jinzhong had already quickly stuffed the drawn swords back into the scabbards, bowed their heads and stepped forward. Pick up.
The energy has reached all four limbs, and Chai Keqiao, who is about to break through the door, also has a stagnant expression. He forcibly calms down his energy and blood, and puts away the ax
——He is not "pretending" The courage to take action in front of the "celestial being".
"I and others (the common people)...respectfully welcome Your Majesty!"
Then, under the gaze of Zhao Duan and others, the emperor's chariot slowly stopped along the long street.
On the luxurious imperial chariot, which was accompanied by a group of female officials carrying lanterns, the bright yellow silk curtain was lifted, revealing Xu Zhenguan's majestic and graceful face.
The empress stepped out of the carriage, glanced at both parties in the night lights, and said lightly: "No courtesy."
Waiting for everyone to raise their heads, she frowned and asked:
"What happened?"
Chai Keqiao hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to explain it. How about complaining? But Xiao Ran did break into the harem without permission... This was also the reason why he neither went to find Eunuch Hai nor reported Mo Chou after receiving the news.
"Your Majesty, there is just a slight misunderstanding." Zhao Duan said with a smile.
Then, under Chai Keqiao’s surprised eyes, he explained:
“I am quite curious about Qingshan martial arts, so I had a separate discussion with Qingshan Xiao girl before, and it was quite fruitful. Later, I simply invited her to come to the martial arts hall to exchange martial arts experience. I don’t know why Brother Chai came to ask for this misunderstanding.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at the rest of the offerings with questioning eyes.
"..." All the eunuchs said in unison: "What Shaobao said is absolutely true."
Chai Keqiao choked and didn't know how to continue.
Xu Zhenguan glanced at him lightly, as if he did not hear the absurdity in these words, and said:
"The night is already dark, Xiao Ran is a woman after all, and it is inconvenient to stay outside."< br>
Zhao Duan said flatteringly:
"What your Majesty said is that I wanted to keep Miss Xiao for dinner and then send her back. Why don't you invite Miss Xiao to come out?"
Immediately, there were a lot of exciting offerings and people returned to the courtyard. After a while, Xiao Ran, who was untied and returned his hat, dagger, soft sword and other weapons, was sent out.
She was surprised at Chai Keqiao's skill at first, but when she saw the empress outside the courtyard, she couldn't help but be startled.
"It's getting late. Since it was a misunderstanding, let's let it go." Xu Zhenguan said eloquently.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chai Keqiao pulled the confused Xiao Ran to salute, and then left quickly.
The senior brother and sister walked briskly, and soon they were far away from the crowd.
Then they told each other about the situation.
"...So, that guy wanted to imprison me overnight? He was released because of the visit of the empress?" Xiao Ran couldn't hide his surprise.
Chai Keqiao's relieved expression: "Presumably the person named Zhao doesn't want to leave a bad impression on the empress, especially... he is still the empress's face."
The implication: Zhao Thief must consider the impact and firmly draw a clear line with Xiao Ran to avoid misunderstandings by the empress.
Xiao Ran nodded thoughtfully.
Chai Keqiao thought for a while and asked: "You have fought against the man named Zhao, how strong is he?"
Xiao Ran judged fairly: "Much stronger than the rumors. But we are still far away from it.”
Chai Keqiao was not surprised and said with a smile:
"Yes, this person has been promoted not long ago and is running around. He is far less pure than us in martial arts. This is only reasonable. From this point of view, this person is not worthy of being too afraid.
After the competition, You should still pay attention to those few people such as Tang Jinzhong and Song Jinxi. Senior sister, don't be impulsive. Zhao's methods are shady and you can't beat him by playing tricks.
It is better to wait for a fair and square defeat in the competition before letting out a bad breath. What this kind of slanderous person fears most is a fair and square contest."
Xiao Ran nodded in the night wind. He turned to look back at the lights behind him and nodded vigorously:
"Today's humiliation will be repaid in half a month!"
……
……
Martial Arts Hall.
The eunuchs dispersed, Xu Zhenguan left the female officials holding lamps waiting outside, gave Zhao Duan a look, and the monarch and his ministers walked towards the courtyard.
After entering the inner hall, closing the door, the monarch and his ministers sat down in the light of lamps and candles.
Zhao Duan eagerly picked up the teapot: "Why are you here, Your Majesty?"
Xu Zhenguan sat at the main seat, with an unexplained emotion in his beautiful eyes:
"It's not you who called me Did I come?"
Zhao Duan chuckled and did not refute. He did not explicitly send the news to the empress, but only ordered someone to report the matter of Leng Palace to Mo Zhaorong.
But he never imagined that if Mochou knew about it, the Empress would definitely know about it too?
Therefore, Xu Zhenguan's seemingly coincidental arrival was also the result of his hint.
"Your Majesty and your ministers really have a clear understanding of each other." Zhao Duan sighed with emotion.
As expected, Xiti Zhenbao rolled his eyes.
Xu Zhenguan sighed softly, took a sip of saliva, and said helplessly:
"So, by doing this, are you trying to be the bad guy and letting me be the bad guy?"
"Your Majesty has a keen eye, and I can't hide my little thoughts." Zhao Duan put away his playful smile and explained seriously:
"The people in Qingshan are surly, and it will show in the martial arts field during the day. If you don't beat them, After a while, I won’t be honest in the next half month, and Xiao Ran will definitely be disappointed after witnessing Xiao Guifei’s madness. Your Majesty is dissatisfied...
In this case, I simply play the role of this evil person and is responsible for beating. Your Majesty comes to the rescue and shows mercy. This way of retracting and releasing can be said to be a combination of kindness and power. Next, these people should subside. I feel much more at ease."
The two looked at each other across the red candle on the table.
Xu Zhenguan listened in silence and suddenly said: "You don't have to do this."
Zhao Duan smiled and said: "What do you think of us as a family?"
Who is a family with you... Xu Zhenguan spat, too lazy to pay attention to him.
The warm orange light of the candlelight shines on her fair face, like warm nephrite.
The room became quiet for a while, the monarch and his ministers stopped talking, and the atmosphere became a little strange. "It's so hot all of a sudden," Zhao Duan looked at the empress's rather conservative uniform that perfectly covered her body curves, and seriously suggested: "Isn't it hot, Your Majesty?"
"My cultivation has long been invulnerable to cold and heat."
Xu Zhenguan said indifferently, not wanting to expose his little thoughts.
Yes, you are impervious to cold and heat, but fairies can also pee... Zhao Duan recalled the last time he spent the night in the palace and was a little distracted.
"How did you feel when you fought against that Xiao Ran?" Xu Zhenguan coughed lightly and took the initiative to stir up the topic.
Zhao Duan did not hesitate and said seriously:
"I have no impression of that woman. I don't remember it."
"..." Xu Zhenguan said angrily: "I'm talking to you about serious things, and I'm not talking..."
Zhao Duan's eyes were bright: "What to eat?"
"...Nothing."
You are jealous, right? It must be this, right? Zhao Duan pondered for a moment and bargained:
"Your Majesty wants to know? Tell your Majesty what to eat, and I will tell you."
Appropriate teasing and offensive posture are an indispensable part of flirting with girls, because almost all women have a passive mentality. Conquered - Zhao Duan lacks experience but is rich in theoretical knowledge.
Xu Zhenguan sneered and looked at the little imperial guard: "You say it again?"
Oh, the theory overturned when it was put into practice. Zhenbao is indeed a strange woman, different from those mediocre women... Zhaodu An Zhengse said:
“When I deliberately sparred with that Xiao Ran, although I deliberately concealed and suppressed the level of martial arts, it can be clearly seen that these three people from Qingshan are indeed not simple things.
The offerings in the Martial Arts Hall are similar to them in terms of cultivation level, but in terms of understanding and understanding of martial arts, with a solid foundation... they are far inferior.
Even if I were to have the same cultivation level as him and not deliberately hide my strength, and let me fight with him, my chances of winning would only be between 50 and 50 at best. "
Xu Zhenguan was stunned for a moment by his light-speed switching tone. After listening to his review of the battle, he nodded secretly and said immediately:
"Actually, Even if you don't hint tonight, I will come over. "
"Huh? ”
"During the day, you released all the internal energy you had accumulated for a month. How do you feel now?"
Zhao Duan thought for a while and said seriously:
"I feel stretched. Well, I’m referring to the sea of qi and meridians.”
Why do you need to explain more... Xu Zhenguan was a little confused, but he nodded gently and said:
"This is the benefit. Next, you first recuperate from the torn meridians caused by the cathartic knife." Small injuries..."
"I have finished recuperating," Zhao Duan said:
"Not long after the injury, the green lotus in my body helped Chen Wen to nourish his body."
Yes, I almost forgot. Oh...you got the green lotus gifted by the "World Honored One", and your ability to recover from injuries is far superior to others... ...Xu Zhenguan bit his teeth and suddenly felt a little jealous. He clenched the delicate hands in his sleeves and said with a straight face:
"Don't interrupt me."
Said After finishing this sentence, she finally realized that for some reason tonight, she was particularly prone to moodiness.
It's all because of this guy, well, that's it.
Zhao Duan silently closed his mouth.
Xu Zhenguan paused angrily, then stood up and said:
"Next, you can practice normally. Within half a month, it will be enough to enter the high level. This is the small realm. That's enough. In the past, your martial arts foundation was too shallow. But now, according to what you said, you study the "Six Chapters Sutra" every night and learn the female skills in Taizu's scrolls. If you can fight with Xiao Ran and score five or five, it shows that your foundation is strong enough.
It's just that your control of Qi is still not enough. If you can make that sword in the daytime, the Qi will not leak out. Those seven nights, condensed into a line, are more powerful than fifty-six armor? Come out, I am in a good mood tonight, and I will teach you martial arts personally."
Zhao Duan's eyes lit up and he hurriedly followed.
......
The Wugong Hall is made up of several courtyards nested inside each other. The monarch and his ministers came to the backyard alone. There was no one around, except for lanterns hanging around the courtyard.
Light up the entire courtyard.
There is also a century-old peach tree planted in the courtyard. The trunk is extremely thick and the crown is huge. Under the night, the pink peach blossoms all over the tree are extremely beautiful. The empress walked under the tree like a flower fairy.
"In the past, Emperor Taizu's wife, who was the first empress of the Xu family, loved peach blossoms, so many peach trees were planted in the palace." The empress suddenly sighed while standing under the gorgeous tree.
Tsk, Lao Xu’s wife? I haven't heard Lao Xu mention it before, I don't know what it is like... Zhao Duan's heart for gossip aroused.
But the wife of the founding emperor must not be simple.
"What flowers does your Majesty like?" he asked suddenly.
Xu Zhenguan said angrily: "I will teach you martial arts. Be more attentive and don't think about what you have!"
"Oh..."
Xu Zhenguan took a deep breath to calm down, then suddenly raised his right hand, the sleeve of his robe slid down, revealing a forearm as white as jade, and he lightly traced it with his slender fingers.
A straight peach branch from the peach tree fell into her palm, and she said lightly:
"It is not easy to condense Qi, but Emperor Taizu worked hard to create a sword technique in the past. , you can practice this technique, you stick behind me, I will guide you to master it."
"Yes.
Zhao Duan came closer and cut a straight peach blossom branch with a flying knife in his hand.
"Get closer, you need to carefully capture the changes when I turn the Qi machine."
"How close?"
"...Just like...I taught you that day Just learn how to draw. "
"Oh." Zhao Duan blinked and put his chest against the empress's back, his arms level with hers:
"Is this okay?"
"..." Xu Zhenguan felt the familiar hot breath spraying on his neck, as if he was being held in his arms, and his body froze:
"You... ..."
Zhao Duan said aggrievedly: "We can't get any closer, otherwise we will lose..."
"Shut up!"
"Oh."
One person teaches the sword and the other learns the sword. It's poetic and picturesque.
In the darkness, at some point, the empress’ face turned as pink as a peach blossom.
