Shu Blossoms

Chapter 269 A Wan Has Entered Beijing

When Zheng Wei came this way, many people in the pavilion saw her from a distance, looked at each other, and whispered secretly.

When Zheng Wei approached, the wives in the pavilion hurriedly stood up to greet her, "Princess Danyang!"

Most of these wives are their elders, and most of these people are the daughters-in-laws of each family, and many of them are related to her mother by marriage. Looking at these people, she and brother looked at each other, There is regret in the eyes of both parties, and they really shouldn't come.

Where can she sit with these elders, she can only salute next to her elder brother, in fact, she is not familiar with most of them, but she just recognizes their faces at the palace banquet every year, so that they won't admit their mistakes!
Fortunately, these ladies are used to talking about scenes. Although they were inadvertently enthusiastic, they didn't say anything to make her ugly. When they walked to the Xiao's pavilion, Mrs. Xiao had already greeted her with a smile. His smile made her want to run away.

She dodged Xiao Yucheng pretending to be stupid, but she didn't expect to face his mother directly today.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, is the Princess okay?"

Mrs. Xiao's tone was caring and gentle. It was rare that among so many people who really cared about her, the thorns on her body softened, and the smile on her face became much more sincere: "Madam, don't worry, I'm fine!"

"That's good, people will always encounter some ups and downs in this life, don't take it to heart, it will pass after a long time!"

Mrs. Xiao said and pulled her to sit beside her
"I have good eyesight and good luck, I won't fall into the ditch!" Zheng Wei said playfully.

"I'm relieved if you think so!" Mrs. Xiao personally brought a bowl of hot soup to her, "The Princess is here to rest, so you don't have to listen to their nasty words!"

"Mrs. Xie!" Mrs. Xiao didn't mention Xiao Yucheng. Instead, she relaxed a little, took the hot soup with both hands and sipped it, but when she looked up, she saw three people sitting on the high platform where the examiner was, with Mr. Xiao Han in the middle and Mr. Han on the right. The most important thing is Liu Xin, the dean of the Martial Academy. Since Da Wei was seriously injured, although he has recovered, he has also lost his vitality. He has been raising him for the past few years. His Majesty saw that he was too idle and let him still hold the post of deputy commander of the Imperial Army. , and then come to the martial arts academy to teach.Anyway, he didn't do much in the Imperial Army before.

After coming to the martial arts academy, he felt more at ease. He competed with the students every day and hardly went to the imperial army, so His Majesty simply appointed him as the president of the martial arts academy.

But the one on the left is Xiao Yucheng, who is looking over here at this moment, and seems to be smiling at him.

Zheng Wei didn't swallow a mouthful of soup, almost choked, and hurriedly covered her mouth and looked at brother.

Zheng Heng explained to her: "Brother Xiao just rushed back to the capital yesterday, and His Majesty recommended himself to be today's examiner."

"Oh" Zheng Wei said dryly, buried his head in the soup but didn't know why he didn't dare to look up again.

They waited for more than half an hour before it was their turn to draw lots. Zheng smiled and said to the person in charge of the matter: "Sir, why don't you find a few more people together, so that the lottery can be drawn faster. Less delay."

The man said helplessly: "There are only a few gentlemen in Taixue, those students have signed up, where can I find them!"

Zheng Wei giggled, pointed to the examiner on the high platform and said: "These two have many people under their command, why don't you ask for help, Mister?"

"What the princess said is very true. If you guys smoked, I will go to the dean. Let the dean speak better."

When Zheng Wei was performing Wutai, in Danyang's Zhuangzi, Awan received a letter sent by the eldest princess.

She read the letter carefully, and thought about it all night, followed the visitor in a carriage and boarded the boat to Jiankang at the pier.

Three days later, there were less than 200 of thousands of people left, most of these people were good at martial arts, Zheng Wei, Zheng Heng, and Hao Zesong were all there, only Liu Yuan was eliminated.

But he was old when he was practicing martial arts, and he was eliminated on the third day after only three years of learning. At least Liu Shilang was very satisfied. The dandy in his family who made troubles all day long was now capable of both literary and martial arts. He was already very relieved.

When he gets married this year, he entrusts someone to give him a certain errand, which can be regarded as not dishonoring the lintel!

Liu Yuan himself was also very satisfied, he came to see Zheng Wei and the others for their competition today, it was considered a good experience.

In the past few days, Zheng Wei's opponents have become stronger and stronger, and it took longer and longer to win the trial. Today's opponents are a little tricky. The opponents are not some inexperienced students of the Taixue, but real people who have survived the battlefield. A soldier, and judging by his skill, he is by no means an ordinary soldier.

The killing intent on his body was fierce, his moves were decisive and ruthless, and his moves were aimed at his own vitals. If Zheng Wei hadn't been quick in action and good at close combat, the other party couldn't adapt for a while, and she would have been stabbed long ago.

But as time got longer and longer, Zheng Wei's own disadvantages became more and more obvious. Her strength and endurance did not have any advantages in front of the opponent, but were her weaknesses instead.

She also noticed that although the man was ruthless, there was always a hint of amusement in his eyes. Obviously, the other party knew her well, and did not attack with all her strength, but wanted to consume herself, and only waited for her to be exhausted before defeating herself with one blow.

Zheng Wei bit her lower lip hard, she couldn't keep passive defense, she had to find a way to defeat the opponent before her speed slowed down.

Moreover, it was not for nothing that she had dealt with him for so long. With a countermeasure in mind, she was not in a hurry to dodge. She stopped and looked at the long sword approaching her, with a smile on her lips.

Then, under the startled eyes of the other party, he did not retreat but advanced, and at the moment when the long sword was about to stab himself, he turned sideways and turned to the left hand of the other party, and the short thorn in his hand stabbed fiercely at his left hand. That person seemed to be very afraid of being stabbed with his left hand, so he dodged subconsciously, his body froze for a moment, Zheng Wei caught the opportunity, and the short stab reached the opponent's neck in just a flick.

"You lost!" Zheng Wei chuckled lightly.

Unwillingly, the man put down the sword in his hand and walked away.

After Zheng Wei jumped off the stage, Zheng Heng and the others who had finished the game one step earlier ran over, and asked with concern: "Are you all right?"

"It's okay!" Zheng Wei clenched her fists tightly, feeling a little stickiness in her hands, smiled and shook her head.

At this time, Zheng Heng's long follower, Qiao Ji, hurried over and said in a low voice beside the two: "Your Majesty, Princess, Liniang sent a letter to find me."

Then present the letter to Zheng Wei.

Zheng Wei opened it and looked, his face immediately sank.

Seeing this, Zheng Heng hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"A Wan has entered the capital!" Zheng Wei showed him the letter, and then went straight out.

Zheng Heng hurriedly followed.

Zheng Wei rode a fast horse all the way to the pier, and said to Qiao Ji beside him, "Go and ask what ships are docking today?"

Qiaoji led the way, when a green cloth carriage passed by.

As soon as the breeze blew, the curtain on the carriage was lifted, revealing that clear and flawless little face similar to Zheng Wei's.

Zheng Wei caught a glimpse and quickly turned the horse's head to stop in front of the carriage. Looking at the strange guards around, he asked, "Who are you? Where are you taking them?"

The guards were silent, Zheng Wei got off the horse, Zheng Heng also followed her, the two siblings walked towards the carriage step by step.

Both of them clenched their weapons tightly, ready to strike at any time.

"Princess wait a minute!" Suddenly a slightly familiar voice came from behind.

Zheng Wei looked back, it was actually Mu Wu.

Her heart immediately became heavy.
