Mercenary Concubine

"Oh?"

Arousing public outrage, Nan Gongchen's gaze swept around, and finally fell on Xuanyuan Qi, Xie Mei's eyes flashed with a strange light that had seen the drama.

Xuanyuan Qi's forehead went dark, and Nima's black belly has committed another problem.

"You don't agree?"

Too lazy to pay attention to a certain emperor who obviously put himself out of the way, Xuanyuan Qi looked at a large group of people kneeling on the ground, coldly

asked.

"Yes... yes, empress, we are not convinced."

Looking up carefully at Xuanyuan Qi's face, everyone replied in unison with a look of courage.

"What right do you have to refuse?"

Standing up from the stool, Xuanyuan Qi gave the two selected teenagers a look of standing up, passed over them, and looked down at those boys and buddies, who didn't even have the ability to pick a lotus flower, and dared to call him wrong, really capable of.

"You... Your Majesty, after all, we are also members of major families, don't you think you are too disrespectful to us?"

Relying on the family behind him, a young man in blue impulsively stood up from the ground, his eyes met Xuanyuan Qi's cold eyes angrily, the honor bestowed on them by the family, they are obliged to win the glory for the family, a flash of light flashed in his eyes Naked contempt, it's not like some people just lie naked on His Majesty's bed, but he has the nerve to play tricks here, and General Xuanyuan's Yefu's face was completely humiliated by him.

The contempt in his eyes did not escape the eyes of Xuanyuan Qi and Nangong Chen, only to see that Nangong Chen's slightly squinted eyes flashed a dangerous light, and the evil smile that had been on his lips all the year round had disappeared without a trace. Xuanyuan Qi looked him up and down.

"If I want Bengong to give you face, first of all you have to have face and let Bengong give you face. You think the two of them are no better than you, don't you?"

Turning his body slightly, pointing his right hand at the two teenagers behind him, Xuanyuan Qi asked bluntly, if it wasn't for the next plan, he would have dealt with him with one move, why would he talk so much nonsense with him.

The boy in blue looked at the two of them with obvious contempt, one of them took a step back in fear, Xuanyuan Qi beside him frowned.

"Just him?"

"The slender finger pointed at the black-clothed boy, and the blue-clothed boy snorted softly, his nostrils upturned, and he was arrogant.

"Looks like you really look down on them"

Knowing that there might be some connection or relationship between the two of them, Xuanyuan Qi suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and looked at other people.

"Are you too?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, wondering if they should answer his question, they were different from the boy in blue, they did not dare to easily offend Xuanyuan Qi who was very much loved by His Majesty.

"Get up and tell me, do you think the same as him?"

Seeing their fear, Xuanyuan Qi raised his hand to get them up, his voice was surprisingly gentle, making Nan Gongchen who was drinking tea and watching a play behind them wonder, when did Xuanyuan Qi become so easy to talk?

"Yes Yes!"

"Yes"

Seeing that he really didn't seem to blame them, everyone plucked up their courage and replied one after another.

"Hehe... very good, very good"

Xuanyuan Qi smiled lightly, and slowly walked back to the stone table, except for Nan Gongchen, no one saw the coldness hidden in his eyes.

"Since you are all dissatisfied and think that I have insulted you and that you are better than them, I will give you a chance."

Having said this, Xuanyuan Qi stopped, took a sip of the tea on the table, and then continued: "After one month, two of you will be randomly selected to fight against them. If you win, I will persuade Your Majesty , let you be His Majesty's personal guards, if you lose..."

The smile on the corner of his lips disappeared suddenly, and his eyes turned cold for an instant.

"How...how?"

The teenagers were obviously scared to death, but they couldn't get off the tiger, so they had no choice but to ask.

"Hehe...it's okay, let's commit suicide collectively"

The silver bell-like laughter was clear and sweet, but the words he spoke were extremely cruel, and his tone was so relaxed that he seemed to be telling others that the weather is really nice today.

Everyone looked at him in surprise, and a cold air rushed up their backs, making them shiver abruptly.

"Chen, what do you think?"

His gaze turned to Nangongchen, apparently asking for his opinion, but in fact there was an obvious threat in his eyes, if Nangongchen dared to tear down his platform at this time, he would have to kill him alive.

"Hehe... Concubine Ai just decides."

After understanding Xuanyuan Qi's and Li Chi Guoguo's warning, Nangongchen smiled dotingly, and once again performed the Hunjun to the fullest.

"His Majesty……"

"Chen, I'm tired, let's go back"

In front of some people, Xuanyuan Qi slowly stood up from the stool, his tone was obviously coquettish, but his eyes were cold and heartless, without any warmth. For those people with upturned nostrils who looked down on others, he was willing to teach them a lesson. The blessings they have cultivated in several lifetimes are not up to them to want or not.

"That's the decision. After one month, there will be a competition, come here, and send them out of the palace."

Nangongchen made a final decision, and the group of young people had no room for repentance.

"Everyone, please"

Yan silently appeared in front of everyone, respectful on the surface, but in fact, no trace of respect could be found in his tone or actions. Also, apart from the imperial power, Yan, as Nangongchen's shadow guard, was already much higher than them. There is no need to kowtow to them at all.

"Have you had enough?"

When everyone disappeared from their sight under Yan's leadership, Nan Gongchen stood up and embraced Xuanyuan Qi into his arms, with a doting tone, and affectionately stroked his long hair that was draped behind his back.

"Don't ask me why I did that?"

Leaning at him, Xuanyuan Qi leaned in his arms submissively, it was useless to struggle anyway, this man was like a rascal without a bone when he met him.

"as long as you are happy"

A few simple words tell of Nangong Chen's endless love for Xuanyuan Qi.

"is it?"

He murmured softly, saying that he was not moved would be a lie, Nangong Chen's kindness to him has virtually offset the things he has done to him, realizing his own feelings, the corners of Xuanyuan Qi's lips curled up to wipe helpless Smile, maybe, one day he will really like him.

"Let's go, I'm going back, I'm a little hungry."

Holding Xuanyuan Qi in their arms, the two slowly walked out of the gazebo, and before they knew it, the sun had already crept into the middle.

"You two follow."

Pausing in his footsteps, Xuanyuan Qi turned his head to greet the two teenagers he had chosen.

"Yes"

The two bowed their heads meekly, just after taking two steps, the black-clothed boy seemed to remember something, turned around and picked up the two lotus flowers that Xuanyuan had forgotten on the stone table.

Seeing all this, Nangong Chen and Xuanyuan Qi looked at each other, and they both had gentle smiles. It could be seen that these two teenagers were people with stories. The persistence of desperately picking flowers is deeply imprinted in the hearts of the two of them, Xuanyuan Qi believes that after his training, they will shock everyone who knows them in one month.

As for their stories, that was their private matter, as long as it didn't hinder their loyalty to him, Xuanyuan Qi didn't want to know.

Back at Fire Phoenix Hall, Xuanyuan Qi ordered people to take the two teenagers down to freshen up, wait for the lunch break, and sit with Nan Gongchen on Nuoda's Phoenix chair, chatting casually.

"I heard that Suzaku Kingdom's [-]-year-old saint appointment ceremony is about to begin?"

Putting his head on the armrest with one hand, Xuanyuan Qi asked not very interested, although Qingyin said that Yuwen Qingchen had personally invited him, and Shangguan Lin would also be among the candidates for the saintess, but he was always interested in that kind of I can't put too much energy into the things I have. If I have those kung fu, it's better to meditate and practice to improve my ability.

"Well, I didn't expect you to retreat for a month, and the news is quite well-informed."

Xuanyuan Qi didn't explain, Nan Gongchen didn't point it out, and both of them chose not to mention Yuwen Qingchen's matter tacitly.

"Listen to what Qingyin said, and tell me how the saintesses are selected."

Only by knowing oneself and knowing the enemy can one be victorious in all battles. Since he said he wanted to help the former Xuanyuan Qi get justice, no matter how boring he was, he would do it to the end.

"Why are you suddenly interested in selecting a saint?"

Nangongchen looked at him. With his personality, shouldn't he be more enthusiastic about cultivation?

It has to be said that Nangong Chen still has a certain understanding of Xuanyuan Qi.

"Ryan, tell me"

Knowing that if Xuanyuan Qi didn't want to say it, he would be coercing and luring him, and he would never say it, Nan Gongchen looked at Rui'an who was standing aside, Rui'an knew this kind of thing best.

"Yes"

Respectfully bowed towards Nangong Chen, Ryan looked at Xuanyuan Qi, and said: "Returning to your mother, the selection of saints in Suzaku Kingdom is once every ten years, and all pure girls who are above ten years old and under, who practice light magic, can Participated, after several rounds of elimination, the remaining ten candidate girls entered the temple to fast and bathe one month in advance. Finally, a competition was conducted under the leadership of the four elders of the temple, the high priest, the former saint and His Majesty, and the winner was elected saint The Holy Maiden's competition is divided into five aspects: oral test, written test, magic, character, and familiarity with the temple's workflow. It can be said to be very strict. The other three countries will also send envoys or princes to watch the ceremony on this day. It is a major event once every ten years in Suzaku Kingdom."

The status of the saintess of the Suzaku Kingdom is second only to the high priest of the temple and the emperor Nangong Chen, so the Suzaku Kingdom attaches great importance to it, once every ten years, each time it takes almost a year to select, and the ten people selected in the end are regarded as The best female mages in the entire Suzaku Kingdom, even if they don't become saintesses, they will be famous all over the world within a few years.

"That's it"

After listening to Ryan carefully, Xuanyuan Qi withdrew the hand that Nangong Chen had molested for a long time, and gently stroked his chin, which was his habitual action when he was thinking or calculating others.

Purity and character?Interesting!

Seeing his appearance, it was clear that the sun was shining outside, but Nangong Chen and the palace people standing aside couldn't help but feel that their backs were cold and their hairs were standing on end. Except for Nangong Chen, everyone else silently took a step back, away from a certain person who was watching. A dangerous looking human being.
