Qi Ning put one hand behind his back, Ximen Zhanying slashed at him, Qi Ning retreated.
Ximen Zhanying slashed the air with his sword, then slashed left and right with his sword several times. Qining stepped back and shouted: "Miss Ximen, please be gentler, don't kill anyone."
Ximen Zhanying knew that Qin Ning was just pretending. In Xichuan Chaowu Ridge, she had seen Qin Ning's martial arts with her own eyes. The sect leaders of several sects in the rivers and lakes were all defeated by Qi Ning. Even if she tried her best, she would never be able to do it. Qining’s opponent.
But in full public view, she naturally would not give in easily. Even if she was not Qining's opponent, she still wanted to test how many rounds she could go under Qining's hands.
She had this in mind and her actions were quite sharp.
Qi Ning turned left and right, but never fought back. There were people watching from the side, feeling amused, thinking that the situation had changed. Previously, when Ximen Zhanying and Huo Cong faced off, it was Huo Cong who shot continuously while Ximen Zhanying dodged freely. Now, However, the direction of the wind changed, and it was Ximen Zhanying who continued to draw swords, while Qi Ning dodged left and right.
Unbeknownst to others, Ximen Zhanying was well aware that Qining was playing a trick on her. Feeling annoyed, she suddenly stepped forward with her right foot, and the red shadow flashed towards Qining's side.
Ximen Zhanying knew that if she continued to strike like this, Qin Ning would be able to dodge easily with her skills. Although she had not thought about or wanted to defeat Qin Ning, she could not lose face in public, even if After losing in the end, Qining wanted to have a taste of his power, so Xiaoyao Xing naturally took the step.
She took one step forward, and when she was about to take the second step, she felt her shadow move, and she bumped into Qining's body.
Ximen Zhanying was startled, and immediately turned around and swept diagonally to the rear. But just as he stepped back, his back tightened, and he bumped into Qi Ning's arms again.
The officials all around were dumbfounded.
They couldn't see the strangeness in this, but they saw that Ximen Zhanying seemed to be deliberately trying to bump into Qi Ning, and they wondered what the reason was.
Ximen Zhanying was also surprised. He took a few steps and bumped into Qi Ning's arms one after another. Qining smiled, leaned close to Ximen Zhanying and whispered in Ximen Zhanying's ear: "I will be your husband-in-law so soon." ?" His voice was extremely low, and naturally the people around him couldn't understand what he was saying.
Ximen Zhanying blushed with embarrassment, but after that, he bumped into Qi Ning's arms one after another, and suddenly understood in his heart that Qi Ning must be extremely familiar with the routine of Xiaoyao Xing's footwork, which led to this.
She secretly screamed that she was confused, thinking that this kung fu was taught by the "old beggar", but the old beggar was Qi Ning's master. Qi Ning had naturally learned Xiaoyao Xing a long time ago, and her mind immediately thought of the time when she was killed by the Jiuxi Poison King Swing When Yi was held hostage, Qining fought with Jiuxi Poison King and seemed to show off this skill.
At this time, my heart was like a mirror, and I knew that although this Xiaoyao Xing was strange and mysterious, if it was performed in front of Qi Ning, it would be a fool's errand.
She was about to change her strategy, but she felt her shoulders tighten, and she felt something bad. Suddenly, her whole body rose out of thin air, and she was picked up from behind by a princess from Qining. Ximen Zhanying was shocked, and all the officials present were shocked. They all looked at each other in confusion. Ximen Wuhen raised his hand to stroke his beard with a calm expression.
At this time, it was self-evident who would win and who would lose. Qining hugged Ximen Zhanying whole body. If Ximen Zhanying could still win, that would be a fool.
Some old Taoists saw this in their eyes and secretly said that there is no point in picking up other girls in a competition. It is really inappropriate.
Ximen Zhanying was surprised when he saw Qi Ning looking at him with a smile. His face turned red and he tried to break free with his arms. As soon as Qining's hand was loosened, Ximen Zhanying had jumped out of his arms. Qi Ning immediately stepped back two steps. Stepping forward, he lost no time in handing over his hand and said: "Miss Ximen, admit it!"
Ximen Zhanying gritted his teeth, but knew that his martial arts skills were far inferior to Qi Ning's, and there was no point in continuing the fight. But at this time, he thought that if he lost to Qi Ning, if he wanted to marry into the Jinyi Hou Mansion, he would have a heart and a happy face. The edges were red and he lowered his head.
There was silence all around. Longtai glanced at it, raised his hands and said, "Okay, okay, Jin Yihou, it seems that you don't waste time practicing on weekdays. I'm very relieved."
Qi Ning took a few steps forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I won by luck, but Miss Ximen's martial arts is indeed amazing, I admire you very much."
"I have spoken before, so naturally I can't keep my words." Longtai pretended to be solemn and said in a deep voice: "Pass on my decree, marry Ximen Zhanying to Jinyi Hou Qining, and we will be married for a hundred years!"
Qi Ning knelt down on the ground without saying a word: "The emperor's kindness is so great, I thank you for your kindness!"
Ximen Wuhen also quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "The Emperor's kindness is so great, I thank you for your blessing." He turned back and glanced at Ximen Zhanying, coughed, Ximen Zhanying had a blush on his face, lowered his head and walked to Ximen Wuhen Next to Hen, he also knelt down.
The expressions of the surrounding ministers varied, but everyone knew that this marriage was by no means a trivial matter for the Chu State Court.
The Jinyi Qi family is one of the four hereditary princes. After Qi Jing passed away, Qi Ning inherited the title, gained the emperor's respect, and made several meritorious services. The Jinyi Qi family could be considered to have stabilized their position in the court, but with the two parties in the court, Compared to the big powers, it is still far behind.
But today's marriage between the Jinyi Qi family and the Shenhou Mansion has undoubtedly caused great changes in the situation in the DPRK.
Although the Shenhou Mansion is not affiliated with any yamen and has almost never participated in the battles between the court and the government, no one dares to underestimate the power of the Shenhou Mansion.
The Iron Blood Wen in the hands of the Shenhou Mansion controls the rivers and lakes forces in the Chu State, led by the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Factions, and Ximen Wuhen is a veteran of the two dynasties and has made countless unknown contributions to the Chu State. His status and prestige are something few can match.
Whether it is the Jinyihou Mansion or the Shenhou Mansion, no one of these two families has the strength to fight against the other two major forces alone, but once these two families join forces, neither the Huainan King nor the Sima family will dare to Look down upon.
All the ministers knew that the moment Longtai granted the marriage was the moment when the Jinyi Qi family's strength rapidly expanded.
And everyone can see clearly that although Ximen Wuhen did not show too much excitement, he obviously had no objection to the marriage. As soon as Longtai issued the order, Ximen Wuhen immediately thanked him. This shows that in his In my heart, I am very much in favor of this marriage.
King Huainan's face was quite ugly. Sima Lan did not say a word from beginning to end. At this time, he was also calm and his expression did not change.
"Today I have granted marriages to two families. It is indeed a good day." Long Tai said with a smile: "Jin Yihou, Ximen Zhanying is a beautiful woman, and this marriage is a gift from me. If Ximen Zhanying comes to your Jinyi Qi family, can you take care of it? Zhou, I will be rude to you, do you understand?"
Qi Ning said with a solemn expression: "Thanks to the emperor's favor and the old god's permission, I will marry the Ximen girl. I will take good care of her and never let her suffer any harm."
Ximen Zhanying secretly glanced at Qining, but her heart felt sweet.
"What you said is witnessed by all my dear friends." Longtai said: "If you don't mean what you say and you can't do it in the future, I will naturally deal with you when the time comes. Also, if the Jinyi Qi family wants to marry Ximen Zhanying, they must be feng The scenery is so beautiful, but you can’t neglect it in the slightest.”
"I will definitely do my best to make the wedding a success." Qining said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, Zhan Ying... Zhan Ying has something to ask for!" Ximen Zhan Ying hesitated, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said loudly: "If... if the Emperor doesn't agree, Zhan Ying... Zhan Ying won't marry him either."
"Bold." Ximen Wuhen's face darkened: "How can I allow you to talk nonsense in front of the Holy Master?"
But Long Tai had already smiled and said: "No need to scold Ximen Aiqing, today is a good day, I won't care about it." He looked at Ximen Zhanying and asked, "What do you want?"
Ximen Zhanying glanced at Qining and saw Qining looking at him in astonishment. She raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, Zhanying grew up in Shenhou Mansion. Shenhou Mansion has always acted in accordance with the rules of the world, so... so Even if Zhan Ying wants to marry into the Jinyi Qi family, she must follow the rules of the world."
The ministers looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't understand what Ximen Zhanying meant.
Longtai was also a little confused and asked: "The rules of the world? How do you say this?"
"Your Majesty, if Zhan Ying doesn't want to marry into Jinyi Qi's family, then... she will stay at Jinyi Hou Mansion every day." Ximen Zhanying said sternly: "Zhan Ying has been practicing boxing and kicking weapons since she was a child, and she doesn't know how to embroider with flowers, so... So if Your Majesty If he can promise Zhan Ying that he can still serve in the Shenhou Mansion after passing through, Zhan Ying... Zhan Ying will marry him."
As soon as this statement came out, many people were extremely surprised, and some older officials even showed disdain.
The king is the guide for the ministers, the husband is the guide for the wife, and the father is the guide for the son. After a woman comes into the family, she will naturally take charge of the internal affairs of the house, so that the husband has no worries. Even if she is a queen who has a mother's love for the world, she is also in charge of the harem. If she interferes Things that happen in foreign dynasties are bound to be criticized by others.
At this time, Ximen Zhanying proposed that after getting married, he would still have to work as an errand in the Shenhou Mansion, so that he would have to show up in public after getting married. Many people thought that Ximen Shenhou was overly pampering his daughter, so he proposed such a ridiculous suggestion. The feeling is really inappropriate.
Some people also thought that Ximen Zhanying made such a request. It seems that this marriage has a chance to turn around and may not come true. Many people are very taboo about the marriage between Jinyi Qi's family and Ximen's family. Seeing this change, they are secretly happy and can only If Ximen Zhanying becomes a marquise, would she still be allowed to show her face everywhere
Longtai obviously did not expect that Ximen Zhanying would make such a request. In front of everyone, it was really difficult to agree. After hesitating, he said: "Whether I can win your request does not depend on me, but on Jin Yihou. After you pass the door, , they are members of the Jinyi Qi family, if Jinyihou agrees, I will naturally not object." Looking at Qining, he asked: "Jinyihou, you have also heard Ximen Zhanying's request, what do you mean?"
