Happy Little Scholar

After the court officials walked out of the Lizheng Hall, they did not return to their respective departments as usual, but found their own seats on the tables on both sides of the square. After sitting down, they looked at each other and laughed with their colleagues on both sides.

Changde had been waiting at the door when all the officials began to leave the court, and silently followed behind Emperor Jing until Emperor Jing sat down in the main seat at the front.

The envoys of Qi also had their seats, but the expressions on everyone's faces were not very good.

Originally a very serious and formal competition, it seemed to have become a performance. Officials of Jing sat on both sides to watch, including envoys from other countries. It was said that even their families would come in a while. A good competition turned into a group of people watching the fun, which was undoubtedly a great insult to them.

Li Yi just learned that the Queen Mother and many Kyoto celebrities would also come here after the charity activities.

His current title is county earl, which still makes no splash in the circle of dignitaries in Kyoto, but his position on the field is very front, with a small roof above to block the sun. Not many people have this privilege, and there are only more than ten people in the whole field.

County earls naturally don't have this qualification, but Li Xuan does. The location here is large enough and the view is wide enough. It is a rare treasure.

It's quite good not to have to bask in the sun with most people. Li Yi sat there alone and ate two pieces of melon and fruit, which were rare to be iced. Not long after, there was an uproar on the field. Li Yi looked up and saw dozens of figures pouring out from another direction.

Many female relatives walked out of a palace gate, and countless palace maids came forward to ask respectfully and took them to the designated location.

"Qin'er, here." Li Xuan waved and said to the distance.

The prince's wife and Ruyi walked over hand in hand, whispering something as they walked.

Although Ruyi was also the wife of the county earl in name, she was actually not very familiar with other dignitaries in Kyoto, just like him. Because of her relationship with Li Xuan, she had met the Crown Prince's Consort several times, and gradually became familiar with each other.

Li Yi and Li Xuan gave them the shady seats in the back, and the two sat in the front.

Before the official competition, there were always important people who made some speeches first. This process was usually very boring. After finally waiting for the start, he looked up and found that the person representing Jingguo was the man named Xue Yong that Li Xuan had just introduced to him.

When Li Xuan saw the person sent by Qi, his expression on his face was obviously stunned.

"Female?"

He did not discriminate against women, but not every woman was like Mingzhu. The people of Qi sent such a woman to compete with Xue Yong. Did they give up?

Are those young people from Qi just here to watch the fun?

If so, today's competition would not be so exciting.

Although the winner is not determined in one match, each side has three people, and winning two of the three matches is considered a win, but it is not so easy to win after giving away a head at the beginning.

Li Yi looked at the familiar woman walking into the field, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face. How could it be her?

Xue Yong walked into the field, laughed twice and said: "Haha, do you have no one in Qi? You actually let a woman come over. I, Xue Yong, don't want to bully women. You should change someone as soon as possible!"

A burst of laughter broke out around, and the courtiers of Jing State were of course very happy to see the joke of Qi State.

"Humph, arrogant, you win first!" A Qi envoy snorted and said.

Although he didn't know why the third prince made such an arrangement, even he himself doubted whether the woman he met for the first time today could win, and naturally he would not show any timidity on the surface.

"Is Xue Yong very powerful?" Li Yi turned his head and looked at Li Xuan and asked.

"Of course." Li Xuan said without hesitation: "Xue Yong was trained by General Xue. When he was young, he was the best fighter among all the generals. He often received guidance from General Manager Chang. It is impossible for him to not be able to defeat a mere woman."

"Can he defeat... that one?" Li Yi looked to the front and gestured to him slightly.

Seeing Li Mingzhu standing there, Li Xuan's expression froze and said, "Mingzhu, she can't be counted..."

"That means he can't defeat her."

According to people's general concept, women are born in a weak position in such matters, but it is not ruled out that there are heroines like Princess Mingzhu and Miss Liu Er who make countless men ashamed. Li Yi felt that there was something strange about this woman, and the people of Qi were not stupid. It might not be so easy for Xue Yong to win.

"In that case, then girl, I'm sorry!" In the competition between countries, so many people were watching, and Xue Yong would not really walk towards the woman in a gentlemanly spirit.

However, he still looked down on the woman in his heart. He did not choose a weapon. When he walked to the woman, he saw that she did not move at all. He could not help but stop and asked: "Are you ready to compete?"

"Ready?" The woman finally looked up at him and said.

"Of course, you..." Xue Yong said inexplicably.

"Okay."

However, before he finished his words, he felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the figure of the woman disappeared in front of him.

Then, he felt a pain in his neck, and after a blackout, he completely lost consciousness.

Plop!

Xue Yong fell to the ground, and the competition was over.

Someone picked up a piece of fruit, but before he could put it in his mouth, his wrist shook and it fell to the ground.

Li Xuan was even more stunned on the spot. Instant kill, Xue Yong was actually killed in an instant. Doesn't it mean that the woman who looks younger than Xue Yong is much stronger than him...

When Li Yi was also surprised, Ruyi came forward and said, "Do you think this woman looks familiar, sir?"

Even Ruyi said so, it seems that he must have had some intersection with her before.

Li Yi frowned and was thinking hard, but the people on both sides began to become a little noisy because of what happened just now.

"How could this happen? Even Xue Yong lost. Who else from the younger generation can go up?"

"Look at the scene just now... Alas, the difference is too big, too big!"

"What should we do now? Are we really going to let the Qi people win this round?"

...

...

I didn't expect that such an ordinary-looking woman was so powerful. Although there are still two games to come, if there is no one from the younger generation who can beat her, even if there are ten or a hundred games, it will be the same end.

Xue Yong was quickly carried down by two guards. After the imperial physician examined him, he looked at General Xue and said, "It's okay, he just fainted and will wake up in a while."

General Xue's face eased a little. Emperor Jing looked at the young woman in the field, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. Even he knew that the strength of the younger generation was not much different in the competition. As a leader among the sons of generals, Xue Yong was already very powerful, but even he was not a match for the Qi woman. In the next two games, no matter who was sent up, wouldn't they lose?

Behind him, Chang De frowned, and when he looked at the woman, his eyes flickered, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

"Father, let me do the next one."

At this time, a pleasant voice suddenly came from beside him.

[ps: Maybe because I'm too busy, I'm not in a good state these days. The second update may be around yesterday. I really hope I can get through it quickly...]
