doctor wife three marriages

Chapter 138 138. How could it be her

Su Liang was calm about Duanmu Ao's unconcealed hostility.

In broad daylight, what can she do?
Su Liang glanced sideways and back, just in time Xiao Muyun also saw her, his eyes lit up, and he was about to come over.

Su Liang: ...This guy must not do anything in public, it's so annoying!
The next moment, he saw a familiar figure appear beside Xiao Muyun, and he did not know what to say to him.

Xiao Muyun frowned, turned and left.

When Su Liang turned around, he saw Duanmu Chen with a smile on his face, his eyes swept over her, followed the prince and the second prince, and walked to the spectator seat next to the competition platform, which was specially for the royal family and nobles to rest and watch the competition.

It was Chang'an who sent Xiao Muyun away in time.

Su Liang knew that Duanmuchen didn't want her to be entangled by Xiao Muyun again, so he came to help.

The princes and princesses are already seated in the spectator seats.

The young man sitting in the center has similar eyebrows and eyes to Duanmu Ao, but is thinner than him. He is Duanmu Sheng, the Crown Prince of Qian Kingdom.

The second prince and the fourth prince Su Liang recognized each other, so the other man in the wheelchair was the fifth prince Duanmu Che whom Su Liang wanted to see.

Duanmuche's appearance is the most outstanding among these few, but his complexion is pale and weak, and his health looks extremely poor, which reminds Su Liang of Xing Yusheng whom he first met.

The sixth princess, Duanmu Qianqian, has gorgeous clothes, exquisite makeup, and skin as white as jade, with the style of "golden branches and jade leaves".

"Fourth brother spoke to the emperor yesterday and changed the rules of martial arts. I should thank you." Duanmu Sheng looked at Duanmu Chen who was sitting on the right, with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

Duanmu Chen's expression remained the same, "Brother Prince Huang said seriously, it's all for the purpose of selecting talents for Qianguo, and I dare not take credit for it."

Duanmu Chen bypassed him and directly asked the emperor for advice, Duanmu Cheng was naturally dissatisfied.

Regardless of whether it is on the surface or secretly, Duanmu Chen, who has emerged in the past few years and has been reused many times, has become Duanmu Sheng's biggest competitor.

Although Duanmu Sheng occupies the status of the eldest son, it is justifiable.

But their father, the emperor, was not the eldest son in the first place, but finally sat on the throne.

Therefore, Duanmuchen is definitely not without opportunities.

Especially after breaking the iron ore smuggling case, he was even more favored, and in the eyes of the officials and common people of the Qian Kingdom, he has become the most talented among the princes.

Hearing Duanmu Chen's words, Duanmu Cheng's smile became even weaker, "Father takes care of everything every day, since you have entrusted me with the martial arts, if Fourth Brother has any ideas, just go to Bengong directly."

This remark meant something bad, Duanmu Chen knew it very well, but his expression didn't change, he just smiled and said, next time for sure.

Duanmu Ao was not polite, "Fourth brother, mind your own business, don't stretch your arms so long!"

Duanmu Chen frowned, "Thank you for your warning, brother [-]. I wonder if brother [-] is in good health? Miss Niansi has performed brilliantly this time, so I have to congratulate brother [-] first."

Hearing this, Duanmu Ao's expression darkened, "I'm fine! Don't worry about it!"

Duanmu Chen looked at it, Duanmu Ao was clearly hurt by what he said, he became angry from embarrassment, so excited, it seems that Su Liang's attack was really ruthless!

Duanmuchen was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He took the initiative to apologize, "I was talking too much, brother two, calm down."

But Duanmu Sheng asked Duanmu Ao, "Second brother doesn't like Miss Nian Si?"

Duanmu Chen narrowed his eyes, wanting to laugh.She almost forgot that Nian Ruxue was originally the side concubine that Duanmu Sheng wanted to marry, but after going around for a while, she was given the marriage to Duanmu Ao.

It's not a big deal at all, but when Ruxue became a blockbuster in martial arts and showed her talent, could Duanmu Sheng be happy?

Duanmu Ao was in a bad mood and didn't notice Duanmu Sheng's displeasure, so he snorted softly and said, "How could I not like the marriage my father gave you?"

The way he didn't want it but couldn't help it.

The sixth princess, Duanmu Qianqian, sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly said with a smile, "Brother Prince, it's time to start the martial arts competition?"

Duanmu Chen glanced at Duanmu Che who was sitting next to him as quietly as a sculpture, and looked away.

The princes fought openly and secretly for a few rounds, but the people outside the watching seats saw that the royal brothers were all smiling and chatting, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Duanmu Sheng signaled, "Let's begin."

All the 36 advanced fighters stood on the competition stage, and lots were drawn on the spot to determine the grouping and order.

The black dress that Su Liang is wearing today was specially made for her by Yan Jiaxiu Niang in the capital. It is well tailored, low-key and exquisite.

Duanmu Cheng's eyes fell on Su Liang, and he asked Duanmu Chen, "Is that Miss Su Liang?"

Duanmuchen was stunned for a moment, as if he had just come to his senses, looked for a while on the competition stage, nodded and said, "There are only two women, Miss Nian Si is missing, this must be Miss Su. She is wearing black, almost Did not see it."

A look like seeing Su Liang for the first time today.

Duan Mucheng chuckled, "I heard that Miss Su lived in her hometown in Bei'an County after leaving Beijing the year before last. I remember that my fourth brother went to investigate the case in Bei'an County a year ago, and he was with the seventh son of Xunyang Ning's family who was living outside. Brother and sister, Ning Ning is now the head of the Nian family. I thought you knew each other a long time ago."

As soon as Duanmu Chen heard it, he knew that Duanmu Sheng had been watching his whereabouts. He didn't change his expression, "Because of the imperial examination, I met Ning Jing in Bei'an County. I knew he had a righteous sister, but I never saw him."

"Really?" Duanmu Sheng obviously didn't believe Duanmu Chen's words.

But Duanmu Chen would not admit it.It would not be a good thing for him if Ning Ping and Su Liang were to come out ahead in the civil and military examinations respectively, but be regarded as being with him.

Secret cooperation must be cleared up on the bright side, which is also a means of hiding strength.

"Could it be that Miss Su's grandfather killed Mrs. Xian Erhuang's wife? This matter..." Duanmu Qianqian seemed to suddenly think of this matter, and hesitated to speak.

Duan Mucheng sighed, "There is a grievance and a debtor. That matter has nothing to do with Miss Su directly."

Duanmu Qianqian smiled, "Brother Prince and Second Brother are very generous, otherwise she wouldn't have the chance to stand here and participate in the martial arts."

Duanmu Chen knew that Duanmu Qianqian did not mean it unintentionally.She has a crush on Nian Jincheng and has always had a good relationship with Nian Ruxue, so naturally she doesn't like Su Liang stealing Nian Ruxue's limelight.

"Why hasn't Xue'er come yet? Don't be surprised, she is the one who attracts the most attention this time." Duanmu Qianqian didn't see Nian Ruxue, and looked worried.

As soon as the words fell, Nian Ruxue stepped on her feet.

Duanmu Chen secretly observed Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao, one was unwilling and the other was proud, although they were not obvious.

Interesting... Duanmuchen secretly made up his mind that he must "guarantee" that Nian Ruxue would marry Duanmu Ao, and that there would be no accidents.

When everyone is here, the lottery begins.

Qualifying is a points race.

A total of ten rounds are performed.

In each round, lottery is used to determine the one-on-one grouping. The winner gets one point and the loser gets zero points.

If two people are drawn to the same group to fight against each other before, the loser can choose to fight again, or directly admit defeat.

At the end of the ten rounds, the bottom six on points will be eliminated, and the top thirty will be awarded the title of Martial Examiner.

The top ten enter the finals to compete for the top three.

The challenge competition added later can reduce the luck component of the lottery grouping in martial arts and ensure fairness.

There are 36 people, and there are eighteen games in each round.

Just as the lottery was about to start, Duan Mucheng suddenly said, "Give the No. [-] brand to Miss Su Liang."

Su Liang, who was suddenly named, was speechless, feeling that these people seemed to come to see her performance, because she was a woman, and she was about to start the show.

But it's just that the order is at the top, and the others don't matter.

Su Liang took one of the two No. [-] cards, and the other one who got the No. [-] card was her opponent.

After the lottery was drawn and the groups were formed, Su Liang's opponent was a white and thin boy.

She heard Qi Yan mention that this person is the grandson of the old imperial physician Gao Jiabao whom she had met in Qin Guogong's mansion before, and his name was Gao Jiabao. Because he was born frail and sick, he specially invited a master to learn martial arts for him. This martial arts competition needs Su Liang's attention.

Nian Ruxue ranked tenth.

Su Liang didn't bring a weapon with him, and after confirming his opponent, Ning Jing said a word to Xing Yusheng.

Soon, Qi Yan ran away, went to Ning Jing and Su Liang's carriage, and gave Su Liang a double mace.

Duanmuchen didn't expect Su Liang to change his weapon in a fight, and the others were even more surprised.

Generally, warriors are best at only one weapon, and they won't easily switch to other weapons.

Su Liang, who was thin and thin, was standing on the competition stage with two maces in his hand, which seemed quite unsuitable at first glance.

Gao Jiabao's weapon is a long whip.

The contest is about to begin.

Duanmu Chen looked at Duanmu Che, as if he was just looking for a topic to avoid neglecting him, and asked with a smile, "Fifth Brother, who do you think will win this game?"

Duanmu Che stared at the black-clothed figure on the competition stage, parted his thin lips lightly, and asked, "What does Brother Four think?"

Duanmuchen smiled, "I hope Miss Su wins."

Duanmuche's voice didn't fluctuate at all, "That depends on whether she really has the ability."

……

Gao Jiabao was often ridiculed by men who thought they were masculine because of their fair skin and short stature and the use of whips for their weapons.

But when his long whip is waving and hunting for the wind, no one will treat him as a weak and sick child anymore.

The martial arts competition started, and Su Liang and Gao Jiabao quickly fought each other.

Because the two weapons are not common in this field, and the difference is very large, the audience finds it quite interesting.

In the previous competition, no matter what weapon Gao Jiabao's opponent used, he would eventually be caught and taken away by his whip, which was also his unique move.

But Su Liang held weapons in both hands, Gao Jiabao could only choose to deal with one.

After several trials, the mace in Su Liang's right hand was caught by the whip.

Gao Jiabao yanked vigorously, but Su Liang didn't try to break free, nor did he give up his weapon, but was led by the whip to approach Gao Jiabao!
Gao Jiabao's expression changed, and when he wanted to take the whip back, Su Liang had already arrived, and in turn wrapped the whip even tighter with his mace.

If he wanted to hide, he had to give up the whip.

Gao Jiabao was unwilling to give up, and after being hit by Su Liang, the two were pulled by the entangled weapons and fought close to each other.

Gao Jiabao has excellent adaptability. Although he is passive, he can still avoid Su Liang's attack, and he has been trying to separate his weapons. Otherwise, he can only defend and it will be difficult to attack Su Liang.

"You can't be judged by appearances. The grandson of the old doctor Gao is very capable." Duanmuchen said.

Duanmu Che stared at Su Liang, pursed his thin lips tightly, and said nothing.

Tranquility glanced across Duanmuche's face, pinched Zheng'er's little face, and whispered something in his ear.

Among the crowd who were watching the battle quietly, a childish and crisp voice suddenly sounded, "Auntie, I'm hungry!"

Hearing this, Su Liang no longer wanted to fight, and suddenly gave up the mace in his right hand. Gao Jiabao was caught off guard and took two steps back due to inertia.

Su Liang's eyes were calm, and he accelerated his attack, pressing forward step by step!
Gao Jiabao, whose whip had not yet been deployed, backed up again and again, unable to fight back.

Finally at the border of the martial arts arena, the whip was finally usable, before Gao Jiabao raised his hand, Su Liang's mace hit him hard on the forehead!

Duanmu Sheng sat up straight, and many of the audience held their breath!
What Su Liang used was not the wooden double mace that Ning Ping made for her, but later he found someone to forge it out of black iron.

When he was about to hit Gao Jiabao on the head, Su Liang stopped, and asked calmly, "Can you admit defeat?"

Gao Jiabao nodded, "I admit defeat."

Su Liang withdrew his hand, turned around and picked up another mace.

"In the first match of the first round, Su Liang wins, score one point!" the commander shouted.

Gao Jiabao heaved a long sigh of relief, wrapped his whip around his arm, and got off the stage.

After many years of martial arts practice, it was the first time he met an opponent with two-handed weapons, and was almost beaten by Su Liang throughout the entire process. He deeply realized that his best weapon had a great weakness.

Duanmu Qianqian said with a smile, "Miss Su is really amazing! However, she uses two weapons by herself, isn't it a bit unfair to a warrior who only uses one weapon? I don't understand, what does the prince think?"

Duanmu Sheng looked at Duanmu Chen, "What do you think, Brother Fourth?"

Duanmu Chen smiled, then turned to Duanmu Che, "What do you think, Fifth Brother?"

Duanmuche watched Su Liang walk down the competition arena, and naturally handed the double mace to a young man with outstanding appearance and cold temperament, hugged a child carved in powder and jade from the side, and rubbed his little boy with a smile. head...

"Fifth brother?" Duanmuchen called again.

Duanmu Che withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "If Sixth Sister thinks it's unfair, you can ask the prince and brother to stipulate that every fighter should use two-handed weapons in the future. It will be more interesting to fight."

Duanmuchen coughed lightly, "Not everyone can use two-handed weapons, and it's not that more weapons are more powerful. Fifth brother, don't tease sixth sister. If they are really required to hold two weapons, many warriors may not know what to do. How did you make a move?"

"Brother Sihuang and Brother Wuhuang, you can just say it straight, why are you laughing at me? I said I don't understand." Duanmu Qianqian acted like a baby, still smiling, "It seems that you all think that Su Liang is the most powerful Yeah? She's the only two-handed weapon, and she uses a different weapon every game."

"I've only watched one episode, so it's hard to say." Duanmuchen shook his head, "I'm most looking forward to the one with Miss Niansi, it must be wonderful."

Duanmu Che looked at the old slave who was standing not far away, "Brother Prince, I'm tired, can I go back first?"

Duanmu Sheng nodded, "Okay. Brother Fifth, go back and rest, and take care of yourself, Father misses you the most."

Duanmu Chen knew that Duanmu Sheng's last sentence was intended for him...

The old slave came over and led Duanmu Che away from the viewing platform.

The second scene is about to start, Su Liang plans to watch it for a while.

Zheng'er wasn't really hungry, but rather Ning Jing asked him to remind Su Liang to get down quickly.

When Su Liang looked at the viewing platform again, he didn't see Duanmuche, and he didn't care about it. He planned to wait until the end of the martial arts to discuss the investigation.

Sitting in the carriage, Duanmuche asked the old slave who was driving the carriage, "Did you know about her participation in the martial arts?"

"That's right. There are only two women participating, so it's hard to know. But the master told me that he doesn't want to hear that name again, but the slave didn't mention it." The old slave sighed.

After being silent for a long time, Duanmuche spoke again, whispering to himself, "She, how could she be that idiot who died and the whole family still misses Xiao Muyun..."
