Zhenguo Duke Mansion

The night was already deep, and tomorrow was about to be a martial arts competition to attract brides. Wei Xiaoyu walked back and forth in the room, thinking about how to stop Wei Jiannan from participating in the competition. Finally, she made up her mind to use the mysterious smoke to make Wei Jiannan dizzy. Even if he woke up, he would blame her, and she didn't care. As long as he did not participate in the martial arts competition to attract brides.

Thinking of this, Wei Xiaoyu came outside Wei Jiannan's room, pierced a hole in the window paper, and then blew the smoke inside.

But what she didn't expect was that Wei Jiannan didn't fall asleep because of worrying about tomorrow. Looking at the mysterious smoke blowing in the window, Wei Jiannan covered his mouth and nose with a quilt to prevent himself from sucking in. He was also guessing in his heart who was using the mysterious smoke to faint himself?

After a while, Wei Xiaoyu felt that the time was almost over, so she wanted to push the door and take a look. When she entered the house and came to the bed, Wei Xiaoyu saw Wei Jiannan lying on the bed motionless, and a smug smile appeared on her face.

"In order not to allow my brother to participate in the competition to attract brides, my sister can only be rude." Wei Xiaoyu said obsessedly as she looked at Wei Jiannan's sleeping face.

Hearing Wei Xiaoyu's voice, Wei Jiannan's heart sank, it turned out to be Xiaoyu.

Wei Xiaoyu sat on the edge of Wei Jiannan's bed and was about to reach out to touch Wei Jiannan's face. Wei Jiannan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Wei Xiaoyu. Wei Xiaoyu was stunned, and his hand stopped in the air, not knowing whether to take it back or continue.

"What is my sister doing? She ran to my room in the middle of the night?" Wei Jiannan said coldly.

Wei Xiaoyu looked at Wei Jiannan and confirmed that he was awake. He was confused. Could it be that he was not caught in the smoke? It was impossible! Wei Xiaoyu withdrew his hand and said in panic:

"Nothing, I'm just looking at my brother and sleeping well."

Wei Jiannan sat up and suddenly grabbed Wei Xiaoyu's chin with one hand. The two looked at each other, one was frightened and the other was angry.

"Xiaoyu, you really disappointed me. I am determined to treat you as my own sister, but what did you do?"

Wei Xiaoyu held Wei Jiannan's hand that clamped her chin with both hands and shook her head violently.

"Xiaoyu doesn't want to hurt her brother!"

"You don't need to deny it, and I don't want to say more. There is just one thing you have to remember, I will only love the princess in my life. If anyone hurts her, I will fight with my life. I can forgive you what you do to me, but if you use these methods on the princess, I will definitely not forgive me."

"I don't!" Wei Xiaoyu defended.

"There is no best, otherwise, hum!"

After saying that, Wei Jiannan threw Wei Xiaoyu and Wei Xiaoyu fell heavily to the ground.

"But, I don't want you to marry a princess." Wei Xiaoyu said in pain.

"Don't talk nonsense here. Even if I don't marry a princess, I will marry someone else. I just have no connection with you, so you should just take your thoughts as soon as possible."

"Brother said it is easy, but do you know it is more difficult to do?" Wei Xiaoyu asked back.

"It's all your own business, what do you have to do with me? It's getting late and go back to your room. Don't do anything that makes me unhappy." Wei Jiannan said coldly.

Wei Xiaoyu stood up biting her lip and walked out slowly.

Wei Jiannan sighed and lay on the bed, not understanding why things had developed into what they are today. Where did his cute and well-behaved sister go?

General's Mansion

Nangong Jinse was lying on the bed and tossing and unable to sleep. She was always a little uneasy when she thought about tomorrow's martial arts competition to attract kisses, but she didn't know where this uneasiness came from. In the end, Nangong Jinse got up and prepared to go out for a walk.

As he walked, he came to Nangong Yuyan's yard. The lights were still on in Nangong Yuyan's room. He was curious for a moment, so Nangong Jinse sneaked in and leaned against the window and pierced the paper in the window and looked in.

In the room, Nangong Yuyan cut her wrist and dripped blood into a bottle. A black bug in the bottle quickly drank Nangong Yuyan's blood, and then her body began to slowly turn red, and she was emitting cold air.

Nangong Yuyan had a ferocious expression and held the insect in her hand. The insect looked at Nangong Yuyan very obedient and gentle, like a baby.

Nangong Jinse outside the window was a little scared when she saw this scene. If she guessed correctly, the insect should be a blood Gu, which was fed by human blood and followed the orders of the feeder. However, this blood Gu is only available on a mysterious island outside the Three Kingdoms. How could Nangong Yuyan have such a thing?

Nangong Jinse left quietly without thinking in her heart. If this blood pot enters the human body, it can bite off the meridians inch by inch, and it is so painful. Let’s not talk about why Nangong Yuyan has such things. The most important thing is why she wants to use such things? Is it to deal with herself? Nangong Jinse couldn’t help but guess in her heart.

When he returned to his house, Nangong Jinse still couldn't sleep while lying on the bed, and finally fell asleep until dawn.

In the palace gate, the emperor, the queen and Concubine Xuan came in a mighty manner and walked onto the observation stand of the competition. The prince, princess and all the princes followed closely behind, and sat down one after another, waiting for the start of the competition to attract brides.

Wei Jiannan was the first to sign up, and then more than ten people signed up one after another. Li Jin and Nangong Jinse also rushed over before the registration was over.

So in total, there were only a dozen people. I believe that some of the young men knew that their martial arts were not good, and some knew that today's competition mainly saw Li Jin and Wei Jiannan. The others had little chance, so they gave up on their own initiative.

Liu Zijuenian said: "There are 18 people in the competition, and the winner will advance."

However, Li Jin and Wei Jiannan have never encountered any duels. Maybe the emperor deliberately arranged this to let the two decide the final victory.

Hao Lianyue was still very happy to see Li Jin defeat his opponents one by one, and of course she also looked forward to Li Jin defeating Wei Jiannan in the end. Hao Lianche and Hao Lianhong looked at the situation in the audience and guessed who was the final winner today?

Hao Lianjing and Hao Lianxuan didn't seem to be interested, or they had long known what the final outcome of today's martial arts competition would be.

Deng Ruoxue said with a smile: "From me, Li Jin and Wei Jiannan's martial arts are comparable!"

Hao Lianying: "No matter what, there will always be a winner."

Jiang Yi laughed but said nothing. In fact, she was happy that any of these two people won.

Wei Xiaoyu also came today, standing in the audience and looking straight at Wei Jiannan, but her heart was full of bitterness.

Soon, only Li Jin and Wei Jiannan were left as expected. The two stood on the stage and looked at each other.

"You can do your best, and I will try my best to make the princess!" Wei Jiannan said seriously.

Li Jin slowly vomited out after a long time: "Okay!"

Hao Lianyue on the stage looked at it finally to the end and stood up excitedly. Nangong Jinse off the stage looked calm, but she was still a little worried.

Li Jin and Wei Jiannan both ran towards each other, and the swords collided, making a harsh sound. Then Wei Jiannan swept across Li Jin's neck. Li Jin held the sword on the ground and bent down to avoid it. Just as Li Jin stood up, Wei Jiannan kicked Li Jin's stomach. Li Jin flew back a few meters and knelt down to the ground.

Wei Jiannan took advantage of the situation to pursue Li Jin and attacked him, and kicked Li Jin in the chest again. Li Jin fell directly from the competition platform.

Hao Lianyue was shocked when she saw this and was about to run down, but was pulled by Hao Lianche. Hao Lianying, Jiang Yihuan and Deng Ruoxue did not expect it to end so soon, and Li Jin lost so badly.

Seeing Li Jin falling down, Nangong Jinse quickly helped Li Jin up and asked worriedly: "Brother, are you okay?"

Li Jin shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Liu Zijue announced: "Wei Jiannan won this martial arts competition."

When Hao Lianyue heard this, he was a little unwilling to accept it. Jiang Yihuan came over and held Hao Lianyue's hand and whispered: "Yue'er, have you promised your mother to accept it no matter what the result is?"

When Hao Lianyue heard Jiang Yihuan's words, although she felt unwilling to accept it, her excitement gradually calmed down.

When Wei Xiaoyu heard this result, she was very angry and ran away.

Hao Lianying looked at Li Jin and asked, "Is this your ability?"

Li Jin calmly replied: "Yes, the last general is not as skilled as others."

Hao Lianying: "I think you lost to Wei Jiannan on purpose?"

Li Jin: "No, I have done my best and am indeed inferior to Mr. Wei."

Hao Lianying said angrily: "Since that's the case, your position as a deputy general is not worthy of your name."

Hearing this, Li Jin stopped answering. Nangong Jinse was shocked. It was indeed not that simple to end.

Hao Lianying said coldly: "Deputy General Li Jin is still weak and does not deserve a high position. He is now demoted to the commander of the city gate, guarding the border, and setting off tomorrow."

When Hao Lianyue heard Hao Lianying's words, she looked panicked and wanted to ask for love, but was stopped by Jiang Yihuan.

Nangong Jinse sighed in his heart. He had to say that the emperor really loved the princess. In order to let her marry Wei Jiannan with peace of mind, he did not hesitate to mobilize his brother to cut off the princess' love for her brother.

But this is fine. Over time, the princess may forget her brother. It’s just that the border is bitter and cold, and she wants her brother to be wronged.

Li Jin seemed not to be opposed to this result. He would gradually forget him when he stayed away from the princess of the imperial capital, but the only thing he couldn't let go of was Nangong Jinse.

Li Jin glanced at Nangong Jinse and said lightly: "The last general's order."

Hao Lianying looked at Wei Jiannan again and said, "Wei Jiannan won the competition for marriage. I am now issuing an order to marry Wei Jiannan and the princess, and get married in half a month."

Wei Jiannan: "Thank you, Emperor."

Hao Lianyue sat on the chair weakly. It seemed that she would still marry Wei Jiannan after all.

After the competition, Hao Lianying and his two concubines returned to the palace first. Hao Lianyue and several princes walked towards the competition stage and came to Li Jin.

Hao Lianyue looked at Li Jin and felt very sad, but the matter could not be saved even after it came here.

Hao Lianyue turned to Nangong Jinse's hand and said, "Jinse, I'm sorry, I didn't expect my father to order your brother to transfer to the border."

Nangong Jinse said lightly: "The princess doesn't need to blame herself, some things are already destined."

Hao Lianyue didn't know what to say to express her self-blame, but just looked at Nangong Jinse with melancholy.

Li Jin: "Sister, I'll go back to the military camp first to hand over the handover."

Nangong Jinse: "Okay, I'll give you to the Nanmen tomorrow."

Li Jin nodded and turned to leave. Hao Lianyue bit her lip and felt heartbroken, and shed tears, turned toward the palace gate. Hao Lianche immediately chased after her to comfort her.

Hao Lianhong saw Nangong Jinse with a smile on his face: "Jinse, will I send you back?"

Nangong Jinse: "You don't need to be the crown prince."

Without waiting for Hao Lianhong to say anything, Nangong Jinse turned around and left, and Hao Lianhong had no choice but to stop saying anything.

Hao Lianjing and Hao Lianxuan just glanced at Nangong Jinse's back as they left and headed towards their own mansions.
