Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 517 Disposal
The "senior sister" in Dong Shuzhen's words refers to Li Qingnu.

After hearing this, Li Qingnu, who was paying attention to the situation with his ears pricked up, almost fell down.

When is she hungry?
"Junior sister..." Li Qingnu could no longer keep her gaze straight and turned sideways to pull Dong Shuzhen.

Dong Shuzhen did not move, still staring at Liu Wencai with a smile on her face.

"Uh... eh... senior sister, please accept it!"

Liu Wencai didn't know what she was feeling, but anyway, with a smile on her face, she picked up the baggage with both hands and handed it over respectfully.

"Count you acquainted!"

Dong Shuzhen snorted coldly, grabbed the bundle, and then got together with Li Qingnu. After chattering, both women ate the snacks in the bundle.

Zhu Xiuyuan still turned his head sideways, glanced at Liu Wencai, and then glanced at the two women who were chirping and eating snacks.

Both of them were a little speechless.

……

On the huge martial arts school grounds, the preliminary examinations of the martial arts are going on one after another.

There were bursts of shouts, the drums kept beating, and the noise was very loud, as if they were always at the climax of a competition.

However, most of the audience in the audience are a little tired of it.

Yawns sounded from time to time, and some simply slumped on their chairs and fell asleep...

In the first martial arts test, there were so many people running together, some running in front, some falling behind, some even fainting, etc. It was actually quite interesting and quite passionate.

However, the first session was full of passion, the second session was still passion, and the third session... After watching several identical martial arts preliminary tests in a row, it was not passion anymore, but boredom.

Except for a few people in the VIP seats, most of them were already losing interest and yawning all the time.

However, Chen Huang was suppressing it here, and no one dared to move. Even yawning was suppressed as much as possible...

On the ordinary seats opposite, it was different.

Some people are so angry that they spent so much money to buy these "tickets", only to be allowed to see this?
One or two games are okay, but this has been eight or nine times. It’s not over yet. Isn’t there something new? They are almost vomiting...

Some of them still hope that after the martial arts competition is over, they can go back to the city and go to the teahouses and restaurants to be "storytellers" for a while.

But what does this look like mean?
Unconsciously, when the first martial arts test was on its eighth session, noon had arrived.

So the first test was suspended to fill my stomach first and then continue in the afternoon.

Based on the current progress, we should be able to complete all twenty sessions today and determine the quota for tomorrow.

Soon lunch was finished.

After taking a short rest, Emperor Chen and all his ministers returned to their seats.

The candidates taking part in the martial arts examination in the afternoon were also well prepared. After the sound of drum beating, the preliminary examination of the martial arts examination continued.

In the general audience seats opposite, although they cursed and even said they had lost money by paying for the "tickets", they still came in the afternoon, and there were so many seats, not one of them was empty.

After the first test started, Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly turned sideways, looked at Li Jiye next to him, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Brother Li, what happened between you and the King of Jiangdu just now?"

Zhu Xiuyuan remembered that just after he came back from lunch, Li Jiye seemed to have had some conflict with the King of Jiangdu, and Emperor Chen personally intervened in it...

"Brother Zhu, nothing happened. It's all over. Don't worry!" Li Jiye forced a smile on his face.

"Oh, it's fine!"

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded and asked no more questions.

Although Li Jiye said there was nothing wrong, Zhu Xiuyuan felt that it might not be simple, but Li Jiye didn't want him to get involved.

He kept thinking in his mind that this Li Jiye was King Qian of the Liang Kingdom.And the King of Jiangdu is a rare "hawk" in the Chen Kingdom, and is not afraid of the Liang Kingdom at all.

There is also the fourth prince of the Yan Kingdom who got mixed up with the King of Jiangdu...

There was some conflict between them, but it was perfectly normal.

After thinking for a while, he couldn't figure out what the conflict was, and he couldn't ask. Zhu Xiuyuan put the matter aside for the time being and stared at the school ground below with peace of mind.

On the huge school grounds, the first martial arts test was in full swing.

Zhu Xiuyuan watched for a while, and suddenly his heart moved. Why didn't he see the few people he liked in this school field?
Han Qingshan, who threatened to win the top prize in martial arts, and his two brothers, Niu Gang and Zhu Li, were both fierce men.

Then there is Lin Bochang, whose father is the former General of the Royal Forest Guards. He has a rich family background and is a hidden talent.

Finally, there is Huang Zhigao, who claims to be the deputy general of the Quanzhou Navy...

He didn't see any of these people.

It must be because the number of people is too right, and he didn't look carefully in the morning, so he may have missed it.

Zhu Xiuyuan was thinking wildly, his thoughts were flying, and he didn't know where he was going.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from the VIP stand.

It's full of energy and strong, and sounds particularly powerful.

This sudden voice pulled Zhu Xiuyuan out of his wandering thoughts, and at the same time, it also attracted all the civil and military officials here.

Everyone followed the sound, but it turned out to be the King of Jiangdu.King Jiangdu had already left his seat and stood up, coming between Emperor Chen's throne and Li Jiye.

He turned his body sideways and cupped his hands towards Chen Huang, but his eyes were fixed on Li Jiye with an unkind expression.

Just listen to King Jiangdu say to Li Jiye: "Envoy from the Liang Kingdom, I wonder if you can see clearly, the first test of this martial arts exam is like this. If you can't see clearly, then I will explain it to you!"

King Jiangdu looked unkind and his tone was cold, as if he had eaten gunpowder and was holding a gun and a stick.

Anyone who is not deaf can tell that the King of Jiangdu is deliberately finding fault with a sarcasm.

The people sitting here are not stupid, they can think of many things in an instant.

Then, they all remained still, their eyes moving around, looking at King Jiangdu and then at Li Jiye.

It would be better for them not to participate in this kind of thing. This is the envoy of the Liang Kingdom. In their opinion, it is almost "death upon contact".

If you can't afford to offend, you can always hide.

Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Shuzhen, and Li Qingnu were all stunned.

Why is King Jiangdu looking for trouble when he has nothing to do?
Are you full and holding on?
Zhu Xiuyuan frowned for a moment. He couldn't help but think of what he had just asked Li Jiye.

It seems...that King Jiangdu is openly looking for trouble now is a continuation of the conflict they had after the meal.

But Zhu Xiuyuan didn't know what the reason for their conflict was.
However, Zhu Xiuyuan reacted quickly enough. Before Li Jiye said anything and Emperor Chen didn't speak, he suddenly stood up and faced the King of Jiangdu.

He is the receptionist for the Liang State envoys. In fact, he can have a hand in all matters related to the Liang State envoys.

Now someone actually came to find fault with the Liang envoy, and he had to stand up.

"King Jiangdu, what do you mean by this? It is the lower official's duty to receive the envoys from the Liang Kingdom and help them understand the military strategy. Why should the prince say anything?"

Zhu Xiuyuan's sense of King Jiangdu was not very good, so he was not polite in his words.

What he meant was that the King of Jiangdu was meddling in his own business with rats.

When King Jiangdu saw that it was Zhu Xiuyuan, although his expression did not soften, he also stopped talking.

However, he only paused for a moment, and when he continued to speak, Emperor Chen on the throne spoke first.

"King Jiangdu has retired and received the envoys from the Liang Kingdom. It is Zhu Aiqing's duty. You only need to watch it here!"

Chen Huangmian was wearing his clothes and makeup, and he was sitting on the throne. At this moment, he seemed to be solemn and dignified, with an aura of an emperor that did not tolerate resistance or blasphemy.

However, the sharp-eyed minister discovered that the majestic Emperor Chen's cheek muscles were twitching, and he was already angry.

Liang Guo is recognized as the "strong Liang". Who is not careful about the envoys from Liang Guo?

Although Chen Huang has the ambition to surpass Liang Guo, but now, he has not surpassed it yet.

The current envoy from the Liang Kingdom is still an envoy from the Shang Kingdom, and even Emperor Chen himself must be polite.

But this King of Jiangdu is completely messy.

He openly angered the Liang envoy, and in the end he, the emperor, was needed to mediate...

Emperor Chen was very dissatisfied with King Jiangdu's move.

"Your Majesty, the envoy from the Liang Kingdom is here for the military examination... I am caring about the envoy from the Liang Kingdom and have no other intentions!"

King Jiangdu raised his hands to Emperor Chen, but what he said was simply confusing right and wrong.

Emperor Chen was about to scold King Jiangdu, but at this moment, Li Jiye made a move.

He stood up with a gloomy expression and walked straight to the side of King Jiangdu, standing side by side with him, facing King Chen.

"Your Majesty, the reason why Foreign Minister is able to stand here is the result of joint discussions between Your Majesty and Foreign Minister's father. This is the will of His Majesty Liang and Chen!"

"But it seems that some people in your country are dissatisfied and do not agree with the common will of His Majesty Liang and Chen. As an outsider, the foreign minister cannot say anything, but he did not expect that there are people in your country who are dissatisfied! It is really puzzling to the foreign minister. But I don’t know how Your Majesty will deal with it?”

Li Jiye held his hand as a gift and stood there, looking like a frail scholar, but what he said was not simple.

The ministers who were watching were a little shocked. This was the envoy of the Liang Kingdom, and he represented the Liang Kingdom!

You must know that the strength of the Liang State was due to the strength of one country. It resisted the Northern Yuan Empire in the north and the Tibetan Empire in the south. At the same time, the Liang State suppressed the Yan State so that it did not dare to move. Going west, the Liang State even controlled the entire Western Region. …

The State of Chen was located in a fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, but its army was not strong in combat. It had to pay tribute to the State of Liang every year in order to obtain the care of the State of Liang.

Now, the envoy from Liang State faced Emperor Chen directly. Without saying anything else, he only asked Emperor Chen: "I wonder how your majesty will deal with it?"

The meaning of this sentence alone was enough to shock the ministers into not speaking.

I even held my breath...

Emperor Chen, who was sitting high on the throne, kept his posture unchanged, his face turned livid.

He clenched his two hands on the armrest at the same time, very hard.

Li Jiye's words completely stung Chen Huang's sensitive heart.

Surrendering to Liang Guo and paying tribute every year, although he didn't pay the bill to be a minister, it was better than accepting the bill as a minister!

The envoy of Liang State had Liang State's support after all, even though Emperor Chen's heart was ups and downs and he was very angry.
