Chapter 16 Die together!(1/2)
Zuo Lingquan was still raising his gun to stab, but he was thinking about so many things in his mind, and his heart suddenly hit the bottom.
how come……
My majestic princess, are you sick when you wander around ruins in the middle of the night?
Zuo Lingquan had an extraordinary ear and was 100% sure that the woman speaking from behind the bead curtain was the girl he met in Linhefang. Regardless of why this scene happened, the current situation was extremely dangerous.
Since it was her, she must have noticed that she was acting.
Why do you act? Because you don’t want to be a prince consort.
A young and beautiful woman, if a man wants her but cannot get it, will make her satisfy the woman's vanity.
But if a man can get something without asking for it and show that he is not interested, the consequences will not be as serious as usual!
What's more, he also spanked the eldest princess...
To die, to die...
In the blink of an eye, Zuo Lingquan's thoughts were changing and he knew that the play could not continue like this!
Poof——
Almost the moment Jiang Yi spoke out, there was a muffled sound from above the arena.
Thousands of people on and off the cloud platform were staring at the ring with all their attention, but they were shocked to find that the young man in white, who was panting like an ox, was moving like lightning and turned into a white afterimage, leaving only two broken boards in place.
And the one who could see it most clearly was Li Cang, who was also standing on the ring.
Li Cang was holding a long sword and wanted to defeat the enemy with one blow, but his expression suddenly changed midway. Just by seeing Zuo Lingquan bending his knees slightly while running, he knew something was wrong and raised his sword in advance to defend.
But no matter how quick Li Cang reacted, he still underestimated Zuo Lingquan's explosive power.
Zuo Lingquan has been practicing swordsmanship for fourteen years, and he only practices one sword, and this sword is very simple - stab at the most accurate place with the fastest speed.
Because the purpose of martial arts moves in the world is to kill people. If you want to kill people, practicing this one is enough!
Zuo Lingquan didn't use all his strength, and there was no need for it, but this was something Li Cang couldn't resist.
Zuo Lingquan was holding a silver gun worth two feet, and in the blink of an eye he was approaching Li Cang. Fearing that he would kill Li Cang, he abandoned the gun and hit Li Cang directly in the chest with a heart-piercing palm.
Bang——
Li Cang's back robe suddenly bulged, and then his feet lifted off the ground, turning his whole body into a hunched shrimp.
Before his body could take off, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Everything is just fleeting.
Everyone in the arena felt as if their eyes were blurred. Li Cang, who had not touched his body until now, turned into a broken sack and flew out from the ring. He flew more than two feet before falling to the ground.
The eight people waiting under the stage suddenly saw this scene, their scalps went numb, they were almost frightened to death, and their faces turned a little pale:
"This guy is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!"
Jiang Yi, who had just stood up to reprimand, suddenly stopped her voice and covered her mouth knowing that her secret was exposed.
But Jiang Yi immediately put her hand down again, glaring in the eyes with a fierce look that said, 'You're done! Are you going to continue acting?'
Zuo Lingquan had already stopped and stood still before Li Cang landed.
In order to successfully enter the Qihuang Valley to learn skills from a teacher and not be harassed by the princess, he really had no choice but to continue acting.
Zuo Lingquan bravely pretended not to hear Jiang Yi's voice, stood with his hands behind his back, assumed a defiant posture, and looked at the eight opponents in the audience:
"A bunch of rabble are worthy of fighting with me. I just beat you casually to tease you. I have decided on the position of Prince Consort today. If you are not convinced, just come together."
I said this naturally to make up for the situation before it was too late.
But Jiang Yi is not stupid!
One place was connected to the other, and it had just been seen that Zuo Lingquan did not want to be the consort and deliberately let things slip. Now it was natural to see that Zuo Lingquan was trying to save the situation, so as not to be resented by him.
Don’t want to be a consort?
Jiang Yi's eyes were slightly cold, she stood up and opened the bead curtain, and appeared at the edge of the terrace in a bright red palace dress.
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Up and down the cloud platform, all civil and military officials in the court stood up and bowed in salute.
Zuo Lingquan raised his eyelids and forced himself to look surprised, "Why is it you?"
But Jiang Yi had already seen through Zuo Lingquan. She put her hands on the carved fence, looked down from a high position, and gritted her silver teeth and said:
"Master Zuo is so skilled! Since you want to be the consort so much, I will..."
Stop it, sister! You are no longer interesting...
Zuo Lingquan quickly raised his head and signaled with his eyes, hoping that Jiang Yi would not be impulsive and make fun of the life-long events of both parties.
But Jiang Yi didn't care about Zuo Lingquan's feelings. Today she had to choose a consort to explain to the clan. She also knew that the princes and ministers who were not of the same mind as her must have arranged a lot of people inside, hoping to take the opportunity to get closer and control her.
So when choosing a consort today, she is bound to choose someone she doesn't like. The only choice she can make is a 'husband' who is a bit more reliable, has no background, and won't stab her in the back in the future.
Zuo Lingquan's family background is not generally clean, which meets the first condition.
His great virtue is intact, he is good-looking, has good martial arts skills, and meets the secondary criteria.
The most important thing is that Zuo Lingquan doesn't want to be the consort!
Just don't want to be one.
If you want to be the one, if I still choose you, wouldn’t it be too advantageous for you?
You don’t want to be treated as such, but I let you be treated as such!
I'm mad at you!
Putting all the reasons together, does Jiang Yi still have to choose?
As long as Zuo Lingquan becomes the consort, she will be able to smooth her over and deal with it however she wants.
Especially now, seeing the helpless look in Zuo Lingquan's eyes that said 'I was wrong, don't mess around', Jiang Yi felt that half of the bad breath that had been suppressed in her heart for the past few days had been released, and her whole body was almost floating.
.
Jiang Yi looked at Zuo Lingquan gloomily, and deliberately paused when speaking. It whetted Zuo Lingquan's appetite for a while, making him feel that there was a turn for the better, and then said with a cold look:
"It's up to you. There is no need to compete next time. Dear ladies, please step aside."
"Wow——"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Of course, she was not surprised that the princess chose Zuo Lingquan as her consort, but was surprised that the princess had chosen her consort so quickly.
They thought that the princess would find excuses to evade her marriage if she didn't want to get married. They even prepared a script for their earnest persuasion, but they didn't expect it to be so direct.
For a time, the courtiers all took reassurance.
The young master from an aristocratic family who was running for the election of Prince Consort cast an envious look at Zuo Lingquan.
The expression on Zuo Lingquan's face turned stiff in an instant. He stood up straight, spread his hands, and looked up at the eldest princess above. The meaning was obvious:
are you crazy?
What are you drawing?
Jiang Yi leaned against the fence and looked at her future husband without showing any signs of weakness. The meaning was obvious:
What can you do to me?
Are you angry that I would choose you if you don’t want to be me?
Zuo Lingquan was helpless.
Not only can’t I be angry, but I can’t help but shed tears of gratitude!
After the two people looked at each other lovingly for a moment, Zuo Lingquan took a breath and raised his hand to salute:
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your love."
Jiang Yi looked at Zuo Lingquan's reluctant look and was in a very good mood. She was condescending and was about to raise her hand to show off, when an inappropriate voice suddenly came from below:
"Your Royal Highness, I have objections!"
Jiang Yi frowned and turned around to see Wang Zheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, who was sitting at the table.
The noisy Qiyuntai also became quiet and looked at Wang Zheng.
Jiang Yi looked calm: "Wang Shangshu, do you have any objections to the consort I have chosen?"
Wang Zheng bowed and said respectfully:
"Wei Chen does not dare to question Her Highness the Princess's decision-making, but is afraid that Her Highness the Princess will be deceived by villains. This Zuo Lingquan has been in contact with Wei Chen's subordinates. He usually has bad personal ethics, and it is absolutely inappropriate to be a consort."
Jiang Yi narrowed her eyes slightly - he held her down and spanked her, and then humiliated her. There was no such thing as a gentleman. How could his personal ethics not be compromised?
But this matter is a personal grudge, and it is nothing on the table, as long as it does not harm your great virtue.
Just by watching Zuo Lingquan draw a sword to help him in Linhefang and running out to save others on the court, Jiang Yi could tell that Zuo Lingquan was not a bad character and he was a very good person, but he was just a little bit fierce.
Jiang Yi knew that some people were dissatisfied with her for not choosing the person she had arranged in advance, so she found fault at this time and said in a deep voice:
To be continued...
