Yipin Tang

Chapter 690 Coincidence
Xuanwumen Square was crowded with people, and the bullring was surrounded by people who came to watch the excitement.

Li Er and the civil and military ministers in the palace sat on the high platform on the city wall, and they could clearly see the situation below.

"Your Majesty, there are quite a few people who came to watch the bullfight today." Empress Changsun sat next to Li Er, her face was ruddy, and she didn't look sick at all. It's been a long time since I've had a gas disease, and my body seems to be getting better day by day.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I didn't expect this year's event to be held outside the palace to attract so many people to watch." Concubine Yang also looked down with a smile on her face.

When Li Er heard this, he laughed and said, "Zixin is right. It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with others, and the celebration in the palace is not as good as celebrating with the whole world."

"I heard that the prince will also participate in today's bullfight, is it true?" Concubine Yang asked.

Li Er nodded and said: "The prince is young and brave, not afraid of danger, so I allow him to let him participate in today's bullfight."

What is young and brave, not afraid of danger, is actually fun, but because Li Zhi is a capable person, he will not be in any danger, so Li Er agreed to let him participate.

Concubine Yang pursed her lips and said, "Among the princes, the prince is the one with the ability, so it can be seen that the prince is indeed blessed by heaven."

If it was said that she had the heart to help Li Ke fight for the position of crown prince, she completely gave up this thought after learning that Li Zhi was a capable person, and other princes could not compete with Li Zhi only because of his status as a capable person. Empress Changsun's health is also getting better day by day, and now Li Zhi's position as prince is completely secure.

Of course, if she knew that Wang Xiang could turn ordinary people into capable people, she might think differently.

Only Empress Changsun and Li Zhi knew about Li Er's becoming a capable person in the entire palace, and did not tell anyone else.

Seeing that it was almost time, Wang Xiang stepped onto the bullring and said loudly: "Your Majesty is diligent in government and loves the people. Now that the Great Tang Dynasty is powerful all over the world, and the people have enough food and clothing. Today, we will hold a bullfighting activity to enjoy with the people."

Naturally, this kind of activity cannot be avoided on the scene, but the life of the people in Tang Dynasty is indeed much better than before. After hearing Wang Xiang's words, the people around shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Li Er on the high platform narrowed his eyes slightly, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Sister, look, it's really Brother Jiayuan Hou Wang." The young man with the burden on his back pushed the woman behind him to the front of the crowd, and when he saw Wang Xiang organizing a bullfight in the bullring, he said excitedly to the woman.

The young man was Zheng Jingzhong, whom Wang Xiang met on the way to the Western Regions, and the woman was his sister Zheng Xiuer. Zheng Xiantong couldn't bear to let the two of them spend their entire lives in the mountains with him, especially after knowing that Zheng Jingzhong was a capable person, he didn't want to be buried. With his ability, he decided to let them leave the mountains and go out for a while.

Zheng Xiuer and Zheng Jingzhong left the mountain for the first time, after discussing with each other, they decided to come to Chang'an to look for Wang Xiang. After all, they only had one acquaintance, and Wang Xiang also said that they could come to Chang'an Jiayuanhou Mansion to find him if they needed something.

Unexpectedly, when they first came to Chang'an, they heard about the bullfighting event before they had time to go to Jiayuanhou's mansion, and it was still organized by Jiayuanhou, so the two came here excitedly to watch the excitement.

Zheng Jingzhong is a capable person, even though there are many people onlookers, he still effortlessly protects Zheng Xiu'er and pushes to the front.

"Hey, you really don't have manners, you ran into our house...Young Master."

Mo'er glared at Zheng Jingzhong angrily, and moved Yu Xiuyan aside to protect her.

Zheng Jingzhong realized that he accidentally bumped into someone, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Is it enough to just say I'm sorry? Mo'er wanted to speak but was stopped by Yu Xiuyan, and said in a low voice, "Forget it, they didn't mean it either."

Zheng Jingzhong bowed his hands to Yu Xiuyan when he heard the words, and asked, "Do you know what this bullfight is?"

Yu Xiuyan shook her head. She had never heard of a bullfight before, but she only came here to watch it because she heard that it was organized by Wang Xiang.

Mo'er interjected, "The one who organized this bullfight is Marquis Jiayuan, who is very familiar with our... young master."

"Mo'er!" Yu Xiuyan was quite helpless for Mo'er who was obviously showing off.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Jingzhong was pleasantly surprised when he heard Mo'er's words: "Do you know the Marquis of Jiayuan?"

Yu Xiuyan nodded suspiciously and said, "You?"

Zheng Jingzhong hurriedly said: "My sister and I also came to look for Marquis Jiayuan."

"You also know the Marquis of Jiayuan?"

"Yes." Zheng Jingzhong said excitedly: "Jiayuanhou is my eldest brother Wang, my sister and I came to Chang'an to find him."

Brother Wang?elder sister?Yu Xiuyan looked at Zheng Xiu'er who was standing beside Zheng Jingzhong. Although she was dressed plainly, she was a rare beauty with a delicate face and exquisite figure.

Thinking of the rumors about Wang Xiang, Yu Xiuyan suddenly felt that this woman must have some special relationship with Wang Xiang.

Seeing that Yu Xiuyan was silent, Zheng Jingzhong started to introduce herself.

"My name is Zheng Jingzhong. This is my sister Zheng Xiuwen. It turns out that the young master is a good friend of Brother Wang. It's really great."

Good friend... um, well, Yu Xiuyan cupped her hands and said, "In Xia Yuxiu, I do know a little bit of Jiayuanhou. This is my maid Mo'er. How do you know Jiayuanhou?"

Zheng Jingzhong just came out of the mountains and didn't know how to be on guard. After hearing Yu Xiuyan's questioning, he told the whole story of himself and Wang Xiang in detail.

Yu Xiuyan nodded when she heard the words, "So the Marquis of Jiayuan is still your savior."

Zheng Jingzhong said with a smile: "Brother Wang is not only my savior, but also my sister's savior."

Sure enough, Yu Xiuyan believed that there was a special relationship between Wang Xiang and Zheng Xiu'er after hearing Zheng Jingzhong's words. How could it be such a coincidence that on the way to the Western Regions, she could save a pretty woman in the wild mountains.

Zheng Jingzhong and Zheng Xiu'er didn't know what Yu Xiuyan was thinking, but they regarded him as the first friend they met when they came to Chang'an, and they had a very happy chat.

While they were chatting below, Wang Xiang in the bullring had already announced the official start of the bullfight.

As soon as the words fell, the people around gave out another burst of warm cheers. They had already seen the matador in bullfight uniform appearing on the stage.

The first one to appear was Cheng Chuliang. He was wearing a luxurious and stylish bullfighting suit, which looked extremely coquettish. He was also holding a piece of neatly cut and well-embroidered red cloth, with a strong and sturdy bullfighting bull embroidered on it, which was lifelike.

Cheng Chuliang attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared on the stage, and they all guessed what he was going to do and what the red cloth in his hand was for.

Cheng Chuliang first waved to the people around him, then turned his head and nodded to Wang Xiang who retreated to the cowshed.

Wang Xiang smiled slightly, and opened the wooden door of the bullpen amidst the attention of everyone.
