Chapter 1103 Idle People of the Song Dynasty 22
Princess Xixia is seeking a husband!
This princess was the favorite princess of the King of Western Xia. It was said that she was very beautiful and was known as the most beautiful woman in Western Xia.
When this princess reached marriageable age, unlike other princesses, she did not marry an important official in the court or be sent to other countries to marry. Instead, she publicly sought a husband.
Anyone, regardless of their identity or nationality, who is of appropriate age and unmarried, can participate in the marriage search.
For this purpose, Xixia also sent invitations to many people.
Among them were the Song Dynasty's General Di Qing, Zhan Zhao and other young talents, and even outstanding young people in martial arts world such as the Golden-Haired Mouse Bai Yutang received an invitation.
Liu Shu and Guan Ruoxu also received invitations.
They were originally unknown, but after becoming friends with Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, their reputations spread throughout the martial arts world.
Moreover, they saved many people along the way, and everyone knew about their superb medical skills.
Miracle doctors have a higher status than ordinary people in the world and are more respected.
The fact that the Princess of Western Xia was so knowledgeable about the Central Plains martial arts world made Liu Shu and Guan Ruoxu feel that this marriage proposal was a little unusual.
It doesn't matter anyway, so why not go and see it with your own eyes, just to kill time.
Not long after the two of them set out, they met Bai Yuting who came looking for them.
He came specifically to ask the two of them to go together.
Then when passing through Kaifeng, another Zhan Zhao was added.
To be honest, Liu Shu didn't really want to go with these two people.
These two people are so famous, and they have two conspicuous bags.
As they walked together, he and Guan Ruoxu attracted more attention.
The two of them originally wanted to watch the fun quietly from the sidelines!
Liu Shu: "How about we go our separate ways?"
Master Bai Wu grabbed Liu Shu's neck and said, "Don't even think about it."
Liu Shu and Guan Ruoxu had no choice but to follow the two men into the Western Xia Imperial Palace.
They were received by officials from Western Xia. After all, it was impossible for the princess and the emperor to come out in person to receive them.
Four people were arranged to live in a yard.
General Di Qing lived in the left courtyard, and the prince of Xiangyang lived on the right.
Liu Shu knew that the Xiangyang Prince's family was a villain, so naturally he would not be on good terms with the Xiangyang Prince.
Fortunately, the Prince of Xiangyang was so proud of his status that he looked down upon even Zhan Zhao, a fourth-rank sword-bearing guard, let alone Liu Shu and others.
A few people could get along well with Di Qing.
Zhan Zhao and Di Qing already knew each other, so he introduced Liu Shu, Bai Yutang and the other two to Di Qing.
This residence is specially for receiving people with invitation letters. It is said that there is also another place to receive people who come without invitation letters but try their luck.
Not only did people come from the Song Dynasty, but also from the Liao Dynasty and various countries in the Western Regions.
The capital of Western Xia was very lively, so lively that all kinds of frictions, big and small, were constant.
Armed fights broke out every day, and the Xixia city guards were kept busy.
Sometimes the city guards were unable to arrive in time to stop the fights, resulting in injuries or even deaths.
As the number of injured and dead increased, the atmosphere in the Xixia capital became increasingly tense.
Finally, the marriage-seeking ceremony was held, and everyone was invited to a palace outside the city.
Liu Shu and his four companions came together with Di Qing. They had a special person to meet them and take them to the VIP seats.
Those without an invitation had to stand.
A beautiful woman walked out of the house, attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone knows that the princess will not show up easily, and this beauty should be someone close to the princess. Even the people around her are so beautiful, the princess, who is known as the most beautiful woman in Xixia, should be more beautiful, right?
Many people are full of expectations for the princess, hoping that they can be favored by the princess, so that they can have both wealth and beauty.
The beauty was a lady-in-waiting beside the princess, and she announced the process of seeking a husband.
The prince consort must choose the most outstanding young talent, so a competition is inevitable.
The first item in the process is the literary talent.
As long as you master one of the following arts: music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, you will pass this level.
It sounds simple, but it eliminates more than half of the people.
Where do many people in the underworld go to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?
Many people have not even read the Thousand Character Classic.
The remaining half of the people entered the second level.
The second level is naturally a fight.
The princess wants a prince consort who is both civil and military.
A fighting arena was set up in the courtyard. Those who entered the second level would go up to fight, and the ten winners would enter the third level.
Liu Shu and others came here to watch the fun - Zhan Zhao and Di Qing were not here, they were invited by Xixia to the Emperor of Song, and they had to come because of the Emperor's order - but they had no intention of participating in the competition. Zhan Zhao and Di Qing were also here for the sake of formality.
They didn't even participate in the first round, so naturally they were eliminated.
As a result, the Western Xia side declared that they were distinguished guests and did not need to participate in the competition and directly entered the third stage.
Liu Shu and others: "..."
Master Bai Wu yawned out of boredom, turned his head, and asked, "Where's General Di?"
Guan Ruoxu answered him, "Someone accidentally knocked over a bowl of food just now, and the oil and water stained his clothes. The servant took General Di to change his clothes."
Liu Shu: "I sense something unusual, there is a conspiracy."
Bai Wuye became interested: "What conspiracy?"
This competition is too boring and a waste of his time.
Liu Shu: "Have you ever seen the house fight?"
Several people: “???”
Liu Shu told them a common trick used in domestic fighting stories: dirty someone's clothes, and when they are changing clothes...
Bai Yutang: "Could it be that the Xixia princess has her eyes on Di Qing?"
Zhan Zhao: "Even if Princess Xixia likes General Di, she should just choose General Di as her consort. There's no need to create unnecessary trouble."
Liu Shu: "Indeed, so the conspiracy is probably huge. General Di defeated the Xixia army and is a general that Xixia is very afraid of."
Zhan Zhao stood up suddenly and went to find Di Qing.
Bai Yutang also stood up and went to look for someone separately from Zhan Zhao.
Guan Ruoxu Wen Liushu: "Since you have already seen it, why don't you stop it?"
Liu Shu: "If you can stop it once, can you stop it twice, three times, or even countless times? Xixia is determined to plot against General Di. If they fail once, they will definitely think of other ways. But don't worry, General Di will get through it safely."
Guan Ruoxu: "That's good."
He believed in Liu Shu's ability. If Liu Shu said Di Qing was fine, then he should be fine.
On the other side, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yuting found Di Qing, but they were one step too late.
Di Qing was accused of murder, and the person he killed was not someone other than the Crown Prince of Western Xia.
The future emperor died at the hands of a general from another country, so this became a national issue.
Xixia wanted to capture Di Qing and avenge their country's crown prince.
Of course Di Qing could not allow the people of Western Xia to capture him. He knew that if he fell into the hands of the Western Xia, there would be only one outcome.
Di Qing said coldly: "I didn't kill anyone!" (End of this chapter)
