I run a newspaper in ancient times

"Oh!"

I don't know who yelled, but Wang Xin couldn't stand anymore, suddenly he missed and was hit by Fan Zhiyuan's palm, but he was not sent flying, but was grabbed by him, and he was caught with his backhand throat.

Wang Xin grabbed Fan Zhiyuan's hand subconsciously, but he couldn't move it at all. He tried his best to break free, but his whole body was trapped, unable to move at all, and his face slowly turned into a liver color.

When I saw this scene, there was something unclear.

The Second Prince of Da Xia walked over quickly and shouted loudly: "Don't, don't, General Fan, be merciful—"

"what!"

The concubines and concubines who had never seen such a brutal scene suddenly screamed.

"bleeding!"

I saw blood overflowing from the corner of Wang Xin's mouth, his face turned pale, his internal organs were pushed back by Fan Zhiyuan, his internal organs were suffering.

"Your Majesty, the outcome has been decided, don't kill anyone!"

The reminder from the left minister and the panic of the female relatives brought Emperor Yan back to his senses immediately, and shouted: "Stop!"

Fan Zhiyuan didn't seem to hear it, his brows were furrowed, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, but his hands were still tightly clasped, and there was no sign of keeping them.

But this is not a battlefield, it's just a competition.

"A Li!" Emperor Yan finally had no choice but to shout to Li Li, with sullen eyes in his eyes.

Li Li looked at this side, and at the center of the field, and saw that Wang Xin's eyes were starting to turn white. Fan Zhiyuan was exactly as he said, never showing mercy, and would kill him if he made a move.

"My lord, although the other party is provoking me, if I accidentally kill him, I will kill him. This way...is too much." An old official walked to Li Li and persuaded him.

Fan Zhiyuan had obviously won, and the second prince of Da Xia had already conceded defeat for Wang Xin. If he really wanted to put people to death like this, it would definitely ruin the relationship between the two countries.

Although Dayan is not afraid of going to war, if he can take the four prefectures of Yan and Jing peacefully, why bother the soldiers in the north?

Being so unreasonable and unrelenting, it would be suspected of taking personal revenge, and it seemed arrogant.

This veteran's worry was not unreasonable, in fact Li Li also had some doubts, because he knew that Fan Zhiyuan was not a murderer who disregarded the overall situation.

Gu Rushi had no choice but to step forward: "My lord, the emperor has already spoken, I'm afraid it's..." Finally, the relationship between the brothers got closer, and then they broke up again.

Li Li took a deep breath and shouted, "Zhiyuan!"

Wang Xin only felt that the pair of steel-cast iron hands clasped around his neck suddenly loosened, and a large amount of air poured into him almost suffocating. , and then fell to the ground, extremely embarrassed.

He wiped his face and saw the bright red blood on his hand, knowing that he escaped from the gate of hell.

Two of the envoys rushed out to help him up, and said with concern, "General Wang, are you okay?" After speaking, they took him back a step in fear.

Wang Xin's brain was a little dizzy due to lack of oxygen, and he swayed. His blurred vision raised his head and saw the tall and ruthless person opposite him.

The killing intent in Fan Zhiyuan's body has not dissipated, his cold eyes are still staring at him, as if he could kill him at any time.

Wang Xin recovered for a while, pushed the left and right sides away, and said hoarsely to Fan Zhiyuan: "I lost...Thank you...be merciful..."

After speaking, he seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, spat out a mouthful of blood, then collapsed and passed out.

"General Wang! General Wang!" The two people on the side called out in panic.

"Let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat immediately." Li Li gave instructions to his side, and then walked towards Fan Zhiyuan.

The latter looked down at his hands, then at the blood on the ground, his frowning brows didn't relax, but became more profound.

"What's wrong?" Li Li asked with concern, her eyes kept looking at him.

Although Fan Zhiyuan won in the eyes of outsiders, Wang Xin was still seriously injured, but who knows if Wang Xin also hurt the opponent during the duel.

Fan Zhiyuan looked at Wang Xin who was being carried down to be treated by the imperial physician, so he shook his head and said, "It's all right, let's go."

Although the second prince of the Xia Kingdom was very angry at Wang Xin's self-assertion and disobedience, he really didn't want to see Master Ruolan die at the hands of Fan Zhiyuan, so he waited anxiously and watched the imperial physician feel his pulse .

Fortunately, the person just passed out, and there was no danger of his life. However, his heart, lungs and throat were injured, so he had to lie in bed for a period of time to recuperate.

The imperial physician also reported this result to Emperor Yan and the surrounding ministers, and prescribed a prescription.

The second prince happily bowed his hands to Li Li and Fan Zhiyuan who came together on the spot: "Thank you General Fan for letting him go, and thank you Wang Ye for your righteous words and pleading for him. Xiao Wang is very grateful."

"Second prince is polite, please let General Wang take good care of his wounds. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to hurt your muscles and bones, so don't be willful again." Li Li smiled back and saluted.

"What the prince said is true." The second prince said sincerely.

Of course he could hear Li Lizhong's warning and displeasure, but he didn't take it to heart.

Although Fan Zhiyuan was ruthless, the result actually made the second prince quite satisfied. This kind of injury made him lie on the bed for a long time, lest Wang Xin would not listen to dissuasion and spoil his good deeds.

When Fan Zhiyuan came back, many people looked at him with a trace of awe.

Although he said that what he learned was killing kung fu, and martial arts competition meant risking one's life, but the warning in words did not move much.

It wasn't until the reality happened before their eyes that it made the witnesses feel uncomfortable, especially the civil servants. The scene was too cruel, and Fan Zhiyuan's strength made people fear.

Along the way, they had never seen such a terrible scene, and the female relatives subconsciously hid when they saw Fan Zhiyuan.

Even the fifth princess pulled the second princess back, not wanting to provoke her.

Her subconscious actions made Fan Zhiyuan, who caught a glimpse, feel more doubts, but now he has no time to investigate.

He knelt down on one knee in front of Emperor Yan, and said in a low voice: "I am fortunate to not disgrace my life. It is just that it is easy to make a move, but it is difficult to receive a move. I hope the emperor will forgive me." He actually didn't want to explain, but Li Li was standing beside him. , he didn't want to embarrass Li Li.

Emperor Yan looked at Fan Zhiyuan, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "What's wrong with Qing, the general is worthy of being a general, he is very skilled, he deserves to be rewarded to earn face for me and Dayan."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fan Zhiyuan stood up and thanked Li Li. When he turned his head and saw Li Li, the latter smiled at him with comfort in his eyes.

Emperor Yan saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but darken his expression.

Although Fan Zhiyuan explained, the situation just now did tell him that the emperor's oral order was not as effective as Li Li's words.

Although Emperor Yan already had a solid idea in his heart, under the eyes of everyone, his face still seemed to be slapped hard, with burning pain.

Not only ministers, but also Great Xia envoys, not only concubines and clan relatives, but also guards and maidservants, probably all see this point clearly.

His gaze involuntarily scanned the faces of the people around him one by one, as if he wanted to see what they were thinking from their faces, whether they were laughing at this useless emperor.

However, as soon as they met his gaze, these people turned their eyes away one after another, chatting with the people next to them as if nothing had happened, and some simply lowered their heads, as if they were afraid that the emperor would see something from their faces.

And such behavior made Emperor Yan feel that he was being ridiculed and belittled.

On the other side, Li Li heard what Fan Zhiyuan said in his ear.

"Wang Xin didn't try his best."

Fan Zhiyuan felt it shortly after the fight. After all, he was Ruolan's apprentice. Even if Wang Xin was not as good as Ruolan, he should be a strong man.

That's why when he grabbed Wang Xin's throat, he would kill him, forcing the opponent to exert all his strength.

However, the onlookers didn't know about this, they only felt that the victory and defeat had already been decided, and there was no need to take the opponent's life.When Emperor Yan called to stop, Fan Zhiyuan didn't stop, because he was afraid that Wang Xin would cheat in order to win him, so he hit harder.

However, what surprised him was that not only did Wang Xin not use all his strength to resist, but he rolled his eyes and his breath weakened, as if he was going to confess to him without stopping.

Fan Zhiyuan hesitated, and when Li Li called out, he finally let go of his hand warily.

And Wang Xin admitted defeat as if he had escaped from death.

He kept saying that he wanted to avenge his family's shame, and forced Fan Zhiyuan to fight at the risk of a split between the two countries, but he was so clumsy?

Li Li absolutely did not doubt Fan Zhiyuan's judgment, and even more believed in his strength. When he heard the news, he felt something tricky inside.

He was about to explain the matter to Emperor Yan, but he saw his brother looking at him with strange and apprehensive eyes, suppressing his anger, trying his best to pretend that nothing happened, and even brought out a forced smile, pretending Ask him kindly: "A Li, is there anything else?"

In an instant, Li Li swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, thinking back just now, he understood.

The silent long sigh expressed Li Li's inner helplessness, and a wry smile appeared on his lips, Li Li shook his head: "My brother is fine, it's already late, brother emperor, why don't you sit down, my general... still has injuries on his body."

He made an excuse casually, Emperor Yan nodded when he heard the words, and then asked routinely: "Is it serious, do you want the imperial doctor to take a look?"

"It's okay, it's just an internal injury, just go back and recuperate." Li Li shook his head while holding the fan.

Emperor Yan didn't say anything more, Zhang Banban announced the end of the banquet, and when he was about to leave, Concubine Min suddenly ran towards him, threw herself into his arms, and said with a frightened look: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... ...The concubine is afraid..."

This appearance of dependence made Emperor Yan's uneasy heart calm down a little, he smiled and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I will take you away."

"En." Concubine Min joyfully followed Emperor Yan into the imperial carriage and left.

Concubine Min dotes on the harem, and no one is surprised that she does this. The concubines are jealous, and they say sour words in secret, but they are also envious.

"It seems that she is just afraid. It's really hypocritical."

Listening to the complaints from the sisters around her, Shi Yu couldn't help persuading: "There is nothing the Emperor can do to spoil her. The Empress is leaving, so let's go back with her."

"Just sister, you have a good temper."

Shi Yu smiled faintly, but didn't say anything. She looked at the direction where Yu Jia was leaving, and her eyes finally dimmed in a place where no one could see.

However, when she turned her head, she saw Li Li looking at her. She was slightly taken aback, and then smiled.

How bright that smile is to cover up how sad it is.

Li Li naturally saw the scene just now clearly.

Li Li also has someone he likes, no matter how much that person says he likes it, even if it's hype, but if he hugs another woman and leaves without looking back, he will definitely explode in anger!

Even if the pair of dogs and men are not allowed to pay the price, they have to kick the scumbag directly and curse them to die.

but……

This is the imperial palace, and the first thing women in the harem learn is patience and grievances, and what they eat the most is pain and loneliness.

And Emperor Yan is obviously not a responsible man.

Li Li's words of persuasion to Shi Yu are being fulfilled one by one, and he really wants to ask Shi Yu if he regrets staying.

If you can't get a lover, you will fall into the quagmire instead.

Under the high walls of the palace, Concubine Min was nestling in Emperor Yan's arms, her eye hair trembling slightly, and the hand on her back was stroking gently, it could be seen that Emperor Yan's thoughts had flown to nowhere. Not on her at all.

She didn't dare to interrupt, and obediently fell in the emperor's arms without saying a word.

The palace people lighted the long palace lanterns and followed Yujia quickly. When they arrived at Changqiu Palace, Concubine Min saw that Emperor Yan had no intention of leaving Yujia, so he didn't want to stay here today.

"Go in, if you can't sleep, light some incense and let the maid accompany you to rest."

Emperor Yan was not in the mood to coax a woman here tonight, but Concubine Min was sensible and did not keep her after hearing this.

It's just that she bit her lip, recalling what her grandfather said to her just now, and finally when she got up from the sedan chair, she took Emperor Yan's hand.

"how……"

"Your Majesty, I saw General Fan compete in martial arts today... My concubine... My concubine is afraid..." Concubine Min's eyes were full of panic, her bloodless face, under the expressionless face of Emperor Yan, she finally decided to fight against him. That said it all, "In case, if the general wants to do something in the palace, I'm afraid... no one can stop him?"

Ruolan failed to attack thousands of miles away, which shows that Fan Zhiyuan is powerful, but if he wants to take someone's head, it will never be easy.

At this moment, Concubine Min ignited Emperor Yan's secret fear.
