Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lin Yi couldn't help but smile. Whether Liu Ziyu was agreeing with Sima Zhongxiao or mocking Sima Zhongxiao, others didn't know, but Lin Yi must have understood!

"Your Highnesses, you have made a fool of yourself!"

Sima Zhongxiao cupped his fists briefly, then held up a sword flower and started to move around and dance.

While dancing with the sword, he also recited a long poem describing swordsmen that was widely circulated by Soejima. The two complemented each other.

The dazzling sword light quickly turned into a ball of light, surrounding Sima Zhongxiao and moving around, but the poem he recited maintained a stable rhythm and rhythm without any flaws.

As fast as a swimming dragon, as graceful as a startled giant!

Lin Yi must also admit that Sima Zhongxiao's sword dance is indeed of a very high standard, and in terms of performance alone, it is a pleasure to watch.

Of course, if used for fighting, Lin Yi could kill ten such people with one slap.

"good!"

The second prince cheered loudly, and the people below immediately followed suit.

In the middle of the field, Sima Zhongxiao finished reading a long poem, and the sword moves had just ended. The sword light disappeared and disappeared behind his back. He calmly bowed to the second prince and the third princess. He looked elegant and somewhat magnanimous. .

"Thank you for your compliments, Your Highness, I'm sorry for you!"

"Zhongxiao is so humble. Your sword dance is much more exciting than the dancers in our palace! It's an eye-opener for me today!"

The second prince laughed loudly, but he may have said it unintentionally, but in other people's ears, it sounded like he was saying that Sima Zhongxiao and the palace dancer were on the same level!

For the eldest grandson of a prince's royal family, this was really a kind of humiliation. Sima Zhongxiao might not be able to hear it, but he could only pretend to be stupid and thank the second prince for the compliment with a smile.

Many people below were already snickering, looking at Sima Zhongxiao with a little disdain in their eyes.

After all, Sima Zhongxiao's previous performance was really nothing worthy of their respect.

He's just a licking dog. If he's happy, he'll throw a bone. If he's not happy, just tease him to make him happy. He'll be the butt of laughter on both sides!

Sima Zhongxiao seemed unaware of the ridicule below. After returning the sword, Shi Shiran sat back behind the desk. In any case, at least the purpose of leaving an impression on the second prince was achieved. The rest... don't worry too much!

After Sima Zhongxiao, some people took the initiative to show off their talents, including poems, songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but almost no one used swords, guns, swords and halberds. It was completely like a gathering of scholars.

Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu were sitting quietly on the edge, drinking and eating. Lin Yi didn't say he wanted to leave first. It was quite interesting to watch. Anyway, he just didn't stand out.

However, things often do not develop as expected. Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu were not prepared to show off their talents, but some people did not want to let them go.

"Zhongda, Ziyu, you two should also show off your talents!"

Sima Zhongxiao took advantage of the fact that one of them had just finished and there was no one to take over, so he suddenly pointed the finger at Lin Yi and the two, and introduced to the second prince: "Your Highness, these two are the leaders of the younger generation of our Hongshang County. One is Wei Chen's cousin Sima Zhongda, and the other is Wei Chen's cousin Liu Ziyu, both are young talents with both civil and military skills!"

"Having them show off their talents will surely make His Highness feel refreshed!"

"Oh? It turns out that these two have always been very low-key! In that case, please go on stage and show off!"

The second prince looked at Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu with interest: "After seeing so many talents, I wonder what refreshing performances these two can bring? I'm looking forward to it!"

"Your Highness, please forgive me. We brothers are all rude people with no elegant talents. Brother Zhongxiao praises us too much!"

Lin Yi smiled lightly and refused in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Rather than go out and show off your embarrassment and ruin the elegance of His Highness and all the other gentlemen, why don't we two brothers study hard on the sidelines."

Before the second prince could speak, Liu Zimei sneered and said: "You are somewhat self-aware! Your Highness, these two are just vulgar martial artists. They may be good at dancing with guns and sticks. They are not good at elegant skills such as reciting poems, composing poems, and writing pictures. None!"

"Your Highness, why don't we let them come out and compete. They are all martial artists anyway, and the only thing they can do is a few crude skills. It's not a bad idea to use them to make you smile!"

Liu Zilan also followed Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu, and they felt quite happy to belittle Liu Ziyu in front of so many people.

"Zhongxiao, are your two brothers really men of both civil and military abilities? Could it be that you are deceiving me?"

The second prince glanced at Sima Zhongxiao with a half-smile, which actually made him a little nervous.

"I don't dare. Zhongda and Ziyu are indeed the young heroes of our Hongshang County. Maybe they are too modest!"

Sima Zhongxiao quickly came out and bowed to apologize, then turned to Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu and yelled in a low voice: "What are you two doing? Is this the time to be humble? In front of His Royal Highness the Prince and His Highness the Princess, what is the point of pushing back and forth? "

"Brother Zhongxiao, I'm afraid it's not that they want to push back, but that they really don't have anything to offer, right? I don't want you, but at least I can still perform a sword dance, and it's pretty good-looking!"

A person from another county laughed and teased Sima Zhongxiao and Lin Yi. They probably thought that Hongshang Commandery was not worth mentioning, so they laughed at the people from Hongshang Commandery.

"I think what the Liu brothers just said is right. Let them fight on their own, or we can recruit two guards to accompany them to fight. It can be regarded as showing their faces in front of the two His Highnesses! I'm afraid that their strength is too low. If they suddenly He was beaten to the ground...it was a bit boring!"

The people around him all smiled. They were all from the county and had similar status. By suppressing others and putting them down, they would naturally show their own extraordinaryness.

Therefore, although they have no grudges against Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu, it does not prevent them from making noises against them.

Liu Ziyu was secretly angry, her face turned slightly red, and she wanted to say a few words, but seeing Lin Yi's indifferent look, she held back her words.

Unknowingly, Liu Ziyu had become accustomed to following Lin Yi's lead. Before Lin Yi said anything, he didn't want to act randomly, lest he disturb Lin Yi's plan!

Yes, Liu Ziyu was convinced that Lin Yi would have a plan to deal with it. Would the invincible commander who dared to use 800 cavalry to attack the 70,000 enemy camp be stumped by such a small scene?

What a joke!

Sure enough, Lin Yi put down the white jade cup casually and said with a faint smile: "What you said is not impossible! It's just that our brothers are trained in killing skills, not acting."

"Do you understand what I mean? It's not that we don't perform, but we are afraid that if we perform, we will accidentally kill you! That's right, there is no need to doubt the footman, that's what I said!"

"In my opinion, you are just rubbish! Not only are you rubbish, but the guards you brought are also rubbish! You are so lucky to be alive in the Longbang Titled Kingdom!"

Lin Yi was talking about the kid who spoke just now, then paused for a moment, thought for a moment and then said: "I'm not targeting you alone, I'm saying that everyone here is rubbish!"
