Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 697 Mother and Son
Seeing that sword thrust out, all the former Qin people cheered in their throats.

But the next moment, Ying Xun's sword stopped in front of Ying Baoyue's throat.

"What's wrong?" Everyone in the audience looked around in astonishment.

Ying Xun's hands didn't move, and he quietly looked at the girl who didn't raise her sword to block, but took out a small bamboo pot from her arms.

"What is this? Is it medicine?"

"That's right," Ying Baoyue looked at the bamboo jar containing the pills Li Ji gave her back then, poured out two pills and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to trouble you to wait for me, I'll finish it right away."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ji Jiashu's pupils shrank and his figure moved slightly on the high platform. Jiang Yuanyuan gave him a hand, and he took a deep breath to resist the urge to stop the girl.

Although she didn't know what she was eating, Ji Jiashu always had an ominous premonition, and she was really afraid of something.

But he couldn't stop it.

However, at the next moment, Ji Jiashu's eyes froze when she saw the scene in front of her, because another person on the battle stage stopped her.

Ying Baoyue was about to swallow the pill in her hand, but the man in front of her grabbed her wrist.

She looked up in a daze, only to see the eyebrows and eyes of the young man in front of her.

"Wait," Ying Xun held the sword in one hand and squeezed his slender wrist with the other, "What kind of medicine is this? Is it for internal injuries?"

"You also think I have internal injuries," Ying Baoyue smiled, "It's about the same."

But Ying Xun still didn't let go, staring closely at her eyes, "Is this medicine harmful to your body?"

"If you don't eat too much, you should be fine," Ying Baoyue said with a smile, moving his eyes to the tightly grasped wrist and whispering, "Let me go."

"Do you have to eat it?" Ying Xun asked.

"I don't have the confidence to beat you if I don't eat," Ying Baoyue said seriously, "Don't worry about me, we'll just compete fairly."

"Fair competition..." Ying Xun quietly looked into the eyes of the strange yet familiar girl in front of him. The next moment he let go of his hand and said softly, "You have changed a lot."

Ying Baoyue, who was about to take the pill in her hand, was startled when she heard the words, looked up at the half-familiar teenager in front of her, and asked softly after a pause.

"What was I like before?"

"I actually don't remember, we have too little contact." Ying Xun stared at his nominal cousin.

What was she like before?Ying Xun remembered that he hated her when he was a child, but now he finds that these memories are completely blurred.

After just getting along for more than a month, the thin disgust towards that young girl has been completely diluted by her bright appearance now, so diluted that it is almost impossible to remember what she looked like in the past.

He knew her now.

"Really?" Ying Baoyue also quietly stared at the boy in front of him and smiled, "To be honest, I don't remember what you were like when you were young."

What she remembered was when he was younger.

"Yeah, we don't even remember," Ying Xun clenched the sword in his hand, "after all, it's been seven years, and the world has changed."

Seven years ago, her elder brother came to the throne, but he was forced to escape from the former Qin Dynasty, leaving his hometown and living under the fence of others to this day.

And seven years later, this young girl was sent here as her brother's pawn to be slaughtered, and by the way, to add to his troubles.

He had thought so.

It should be so.

Their position is incompatible.

Watching Ying Xun raise his sword again, the former Qin people in the audience became excited again.

"It's finally time to start fighting. Who will win?"

"It must be the eldest son! As for whether the princess' life can be saved, it's another matter...Anyway, that person's younger sister is not worthy of pity..."

"Why do you have to make it difficult for the eldest son to attack his sister? This princess is too blind to see. Hurry up and admit defeat!"

All kinds of clamor and persuasion in the audience were chaotic. Everyone was staring at the sword in Ying Xun's hand, but Ying Baoyue was slightly startled when he looked at the tail of the sword.

As the recommender of the former Qin family, Ying Xun's sword is somewhat ordinary. Although it is a three-foot green front, it is not a famous sword, and its appearance is ordinary and its color is dark.But it was such a sword, but the tail of the sword was decorated with a bright red tassel, which added a lot of color to the sword.

"This Jiansui..." Ying Baoyue stared at the faded but still bright red for a moment.

"You mean this? My mother made it up for me when I was a child." Ying Xun glanced at it and said calmly.

"Mother?" Jiang Yuanyuan on the high platform frowned upon hearing the words, "Ying Xun... I remember that the eldest concubine passed away when he was born, right?"

"Oh, my biological mother passed away early, I'm talking about my stepmother."

Watching Ying Baoyue's slightly stunned gaze, Ying Xun spoke lightly.

"Following..." Jiang Yuanyuan was also taken aback when he heard this on the stage, and realized who Ying Xun was talking about after he realized who Ying Xun was talking about. Ji Jiashu was also a little surprised.

"Speaking of it..." Ji Jiashu took a deep breath, "It seems that His Highness Shao Si Ming almost became the eldest concubine of the emperor back then, he was indeed the eldest grandson of the emperor..."

It's just that the relationship is still a bit messy.

What is even more surprising is that Ying Xun would be willing to call that woman his mother.

"That's it, so it's your mother," Ying Baoyue looked at the sword in Ying Xun's hand, her eyes froze slightly when she saw the blush, and finally she just closed her eyes and put the pill in her hand between her lips.

Ying Xun raised the sword even higher.

"It's about to start, it's about to start!"

Everyone looked at the tense scene and knew that the long-awaited scene was coming. They watched the girl put the pill to her mouth, and Ji Jiashu's nails dug into her palm.

"By the way, you're not married yet, are you?" At this moment, Ying Xun looked at Ying Baoyue and suddenly asked.

"Huh?" The action of taking the medicine was interrupted, and the pill stopped by his mouth. Ying Baoyue looked at him in surprise, "I haven't officially married..."

She and Ji Jiashu were only engaged to be married, and the three matchmakers and six recruits only left for a little while, so they were indeed not considered married.

"Really? Let's start." Ying Xun said lightly, feeling his sword intent and everyone shuddered!
Accompanied by his voice, sword lights flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and everyone's eyes widened, but the next moment.

The sword light flashed, and the bright red spike of the sword shook beside the boy's hilt.

With a bang, the sword in Ying Xun's hand was thrust into the ground.

Then he reached out and pulled Ying Baoyue into his arms.

……

……

"win……"

Ying Baoyue, who has always been good at predicting opponents' movements, experienced the first time in her life that she was caught off guard, and the pill in her hand slipped instantly.The boy who was about to stab her with a sword fell to the ground on his knees, sat cross-legged on the ground, and then pulled her into his arms.

There was a dead silence.

The crowd was stunned.

Can't believe my eyes.

It is even more difficult to believe the picture in front of me.

In the dead silence, there is only a round pill rolling on the battle platform.

Ying Baoyue's eyes chased after the pill, but the next moment, a pair of hands blocked her eyes.

"This is..." She turned her head and looked at the boy who pressed her on her lap, "What are you doing?"

"Since you are not married yet, let me be your brother again," Ying Xun said lightly.

"Okay, stop taking the medicine and go to sleep."

　Congratulations to Ying Baoyue, there are things you didn't expect.
