Seeing that Bailiqi won again and returned to his seat, he had no intention of getting up again. Xiao Jingrui stood up with a dignified expression, clasped his fists at him coldly, and said, "Xiao Jingrui, please ask Baili Warrior for advice."

Bai Liqi was challenged for the first time today, and his eyes flashed brightly, but he looked back at his country's envoy and saw that he shook his head at him, his expression immediately turned blank, shook his head and refused: "I'm tired. already."

Xiao Jingrui knew that his name could easily be mistaken for the prince of Daliang. He suspected that the other party refused because of this, and hurriedly added: "The son of Xie Yu, the Marquis of Xia Ning, came here to ask for advice. If the warriors of Baili are tired, you can rest for a while. In a moment, give pointers again."

Bai Liqi looked back again, the Beiyan envoy still shook his head, so he said again: "I won't fight today."

In fact, as we all know, Xiao Jingrui doesn't like to fight for victory by nature, and he always believes that no matter whether he wins or loses, there is no need to hold grudges. But what Bailiqi has done today is really too much. Sometimes it is obvious that the opponent has been defeated, and he has to catch up with him and completely knock it down. He can't help but arouse the anger of this gentle young man, so his blood is rising, and he actually takes the initiative to challenge. , took a deep breath, and wanted to fight to be seriously injured, but also had to set back Bailiqi's hostility, but he was softly blocked back at the beginning, but that person really played several games in a row. , I have to say that he "pretends to be tired and avoids the war" and so on. With Xiao Jingrui's gentle character, he really can't say it, so he can only be stunned for a while, Fang said: "Then ask Baili Warrior to make an appointment with me, you I will fight another day."

Bai Liqi took a sip of tea, shook his head for the third time, and said coldly: "Is there any reason to fight again another day? There are so many people here, if you really want to fight, choose another one."

When Emperor Liang saw that he insisted on refusing, he couldn't help but glanced sideways at Meng Zhi. The commander of the Imperial Guard immediately understood what he meant, and hurriedly leaned into his ear and said, "Your Majesty, don't misunderstand, the people of Beiyan are not showing weakness, they just know that Jing Rui and Yujin must be very valuable, and they were obviously familiar with the county master just now. I just don’t want to offend Daliang too much. In fact, Jing Rui is not Bailiqi’s opponent.”

When Emperor Liang heard the words, although his expression was as usual, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Bai Liqi is so brave today. As the monarch of Daliang, of course, he still hopes that a native of his own country can earn some face, but it is a pity that it will be difficult to do so. When she was depressed in her heart, she suddenly saw that Mei Changsu was whispering something to the county master below. Nihuang looked surprised and asked, "Nihuang, what are you and Su Qing talking about?"

Princess Nihuang hesitated for a moment, then forced a smile: "Nothing..."

Emperor Liang frowned slightly and said solemnly, "You can't deceive you, what are you talking about?"

The county owner smiled and said: "How dare Nihuang. Mr. Su just commented a few words on the battle just now, and there is really nothing else to say."

"Oh? What's Su Qing's high point? Let's listen to it no matter what."

Princess Nihuang looked at Mei Changsu and saw that he had a helpless expression, so he had to stand up and said, "Mr. Su said that Baili warriors are easy to break, and the way to practice martial arts is wrong, if someone finds out Weaknesses, a few children can knock them down."

Hearing this kind of comment, Bai Liqi's muscles twitched, and he was slightly angry. However, the Beiyan envoy regarded these words as just the people of Daliang who wanted to find something back, and immediately said proudly: "This kind of words can be put on anyone. It would be nice to find a few kiddies to knock him down."

Mei Changsu hurriedly smiled and said, "It's me who made a false statement. Don't worry, the two of you, it's not easy for Baili Warriors to train like this, and I won't arbitrarily ruin someone's future."

He was clearly apologizing, but those words sounded even more heart-wrenching than the challenge. The meaning behind him was clearly to say, "Actually, I can do what I said, but I just don't want to destroy you." The Beiyan envoy was very satisfied. Hearing how he could be comfortable, he immediately said, "If this gentleman has such skills, he might as well give it a try in front of His Majesty's interview. Although our Baili warriors are tired, we still dare not dissuade the gentleman's interest in talking big."

"How can it be so fast," Mei Changsu still had a gentle smile on his face, "Even if I can find a few children right away, I still have to teach at least a few days. Well, even if I'm talking nonsense, don't talk to the two of you. care about…”

When the Beiyan envoy heard this, the more he heard it, the more he said it, the more he said it. If he just ignored him like this, he seemed to be afraid of him. Bailiqi's face earned by punching and kicking, if he was caught I earned it back on my tongue. In the future, the fourth prince will know that he will say that he is incompetent, how can he let it go and not refute it, he immediately sneered: "Sir wants to train people, we will just wait. Please give me a pointer. Guaranteed to be on call every day.”

Mei Changsu looked a little embarrassed, and murmured, "I'm not familiar with the capital, where can I find these children..."

In fact, what kind of child is he looking for, as long as he speaks, every Daliang person present can immediately help him find a large group, but no one is sure whether what he said is true or just want to be angry with Bailiqi, no Dare to speak.

When the Beiyan envoy saw him like this, he became more and more certain that he was bluffing, and immediately added fuel to the fire: "How difficult is this, I heard that there are many elementary school apprentices in the martial arts hall in the capital of your country..."

"The children in the martial arts hall are too strong. I'm afraid that the Baili Warriors will suffer. Besides, it is unfair to find a few children who have practiced martial arts to besiege."

Seeing that this person has reached such a level and wants to continue to brag, the Beiyan envoy gritted his teeth in anger and said, "What's the matter, we have no complaints."

"Not good," Mei Changsu shook his head, "I'm looking for a weaker one... Are there any weaker children in this palace and in everyone's house?"

Everyone was afraid and did not dare to answer, for fear of doing a disservice accidentally, only Princess Jingning didn't quite understand the situation, and she was just stimulated by the tragic situation in Yeyouting not long ago, so they immediately replied: "There is someone in the palace. Ah, there are quite a few children in Ye You Ting, they are all skinny and pitiful."

"Yu You Ting's sin slave," Mei Changsu whispered to himself, "it's more suitable than looking for children from ordinary people, but does His Majesty allow..."

When Emperor Liang saw his gaze towards him, he could not confirm for a while whether he wanted him to agree or not. While hesitating, Meng Zhi's voice came into his ears: "Please allow Your Majesty's permission."

Emperor Liang's trust in this country's first master in martial arts is beyond doubt, and he immediately said: "I'm sure. Come on, go to Yeyouting and pick a few children."

Mei Changsu added: "Remember, be weaker."

The Beiyan messenger was very angry at him, and said viciously: "Sin slaves are also human beings. It's really bearable, sir, to ask these children to die in vain."

Princess Jingning saw that her casual answer caused such a consequence, she was anxious, and then she quickly said: "Yes, isn't this letting those children die? Father, this is absolutely not acceptable!"

"Don't worry, princess, I still have some confidence." Mei Changsu advised, "Besides, as a slave, if you can serve Your Majesty, even if you die, you should. Besides, once you win, Your Majesty will reward you."

Princess Jingning was even more annoyed after hearing this: "They work in the palace every day. No matter how much money they reward, there is nowhere to spend them. Of course, life is more important!"

"That's true," Mei Changsu raised his head and thought for a while, "These little sin slaves have no hope in their hearts, they're just afraid of being slack in their actions and difficult to train. This idea is wrong, they shouldn't be chosen..."

The Beiyan envoy was a little surprised when he saw that they had already selected people, but seeing Mei Changsu's intention to back down, he immediately calmed down and said sarcastically, "Mr. , In fact, as long as we admit a mistake, we Baili warriors are not stingy people."

Mei Changsu Ning stared at him, until he saw that he was a little uncomfortable, Fang sighed and said, "Sumou repeatedly asks you to go down the steps, but you won't come down. Since you have to give it a try, then I have no choice but to feel sorry for the Baili Warrior."

Beiyan's envoy was angry and was about to fight back. The eunuch who had just been ordered to tuck You Ting had returned and said, "Your Majesty, this servant has brought five children."

"Well, call them all."

"Yes."

Following behind the eunuch, five small figures huddled up to the hall, curled up in a ball and knelt on the ground.

King Jing had already begun to feel puzzled, but now that he saw Tingsheng in the middle, he understood most of it. Seeing that the people in the hall were paying attention, he hurriedly found an opportunity to quietly follow the emperor who was sitting beside him. Sister Jingning said a few words.

"Look up and report your age. Which sinner is the descendant of?" Emperor Liang said coldly.

The five children were terrified, and under the pressure of the eunuch's low voice, Fang responded intermittently with trembling voices. When it was Tingsheng's turn, he had a pale face and whispered, "Sin slave... Eleven years old, former Taihe... Grand scholar Jingkui... grandson... Because of the Kechang case... guilty..."

Mei Changsu suddenly felt a sour heart, and hurriedly took a sip of tea and covered up the past. Now imagine that when they were imprisoned in Yeyouting and could not get any help from the outside world, the daughters of King Qi could work together to obtain a fake identity for Tingsheng, the lucky posthumous son, and protect him from escape. Crown Prince and Prince Yu's weeds and roots are really worthy of admiration and admiration for them. It's a pity that these righteous women have been tortured, and now few of them are alive.

After the five children reported back, Emperor Liang didn't take it too seriously. After a sigh of relief, he said to Mei Changsu, "Su Qing sees that these children can still make it?"

"Five is too many, you can't take advantage of the Baili Warriors too much, three is enough," Mei Changsu looked at him casually, and pointed to the three people including Han Tingsheng, "I'm afraid I will bring back my residence to train two people. My God, can your Majesty approve?"

"I'm sure. If I can win in two days, I'll have a big reward."

Mei Changsu sighed: "Although Your Majesty is deeply gracious, but the princess just made sense. These children are slaves, and there is nowhere to use the bounty and silver."

Emperor Liang couldn't help laughing and said: "You misunderstood, I meant to reward you."

"Eh?" Mei Changsu was stunned, "I don't have to. It's them who have to contribute. Why don't your majesty give them some grace that they can endure."

"Of course they also want to reward them." When Emperor Liang saw the Beiyan envoy on the side hearing this, his face turned pale with anger, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed, "If we win, I will reward... uh... reward..."

He was thinking about what to reward, when Princess Jingning interjected: "Father, you have to pay a heavy reward, so they are willing to do their best, and Mr. Su can train them well. What does your daughter mean, to these sinners? The greatest reward is to get rid of their hard labor, so that they can go out to the secluded courtyard to find their own place, even if the father and the emperor reward the mountains of gold and silver, it is better to reward this."

When Emperor Liang saw that his little daughter was so sympathetic to these little sinners today, in order to make her happy, and the children were nothing to worry about, he didn't think much about it, he nodded and agreed: "Okay. I will follow you, if it is They have made meritorious deeds, and I grant them to be exempted from hard labor, and they will be properly placed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Princess Jingning was overjoyed: "Thank you for the royal father. The daughter knows that the royal father is the most holy and benevolent."

"You are just soft-hearted. But it's okay for a girl to be soft-hearted." Emperor Liang gave her a loving look before turning to the crowd, "Let's leave for now. Before the county master's literary test in two days, let's look at it first. Look at Su Qing's ability to train, and then start dancing and writing."

Everyone immediately stood up and said in unison, "Follow the purpose."
