Chapter 57: Seeing Bingwen Again
The people of the King's presence are on the move.
The three people headed by her, Minghe and Manchuan were busy in Jingguo. Manhuang was responsible for responding to various urgent tasks, the secret guards went to do business and manufacture new weapons, and Shen Sinian followed Bingwen's line to investigate in southern Xinjiang. Everything seemed so orderly.
Southern Xinjiang.
He got up early today and was forced by Lin Junhuai to dress him up at the dressing table.
Shen Sinian stared at himself in the mirror, completely confused.
Lin Junhuai said anxiously: "What are you standing there for? Go draw your eyebrows and put on some makeup."
Seeing his expressionless and cold face, Lin Junhuai was very angry: "Do you really think that ladies only look at their skills when choosing guards? They also look at their looks. There are 108 love stories that ladies and guards have to tell everywhere. Don't you know?"
Shen Sinian: "...read less novels in the future"
Lin Junhuai was speechless: "You are too ignorant of the ways of the world. Only a charming face is the secret to being successful."
He said this with great confidence, his pretty baby face was full of pride, his bright amber eyes were filled with tiny starlight.
Shen Sinian suddenly pondered: "What on earth did you Mohists teach you?"
I don't really understand why this guy, who was born in such an upright Mohist school, is so obsessed with using his beauty to find a rich woman to lie down with.
About Jin Yuanbao, who is rich and beautiful and always wants to find a rich woman to keep him.
Shen Sinian: I don’t understand.
Lin Junhuai: "I solemnly declare here that everything I have done has nothing to do with the Mohist School. If there is anything illegal that damages the image, I will bear all the responsibility alone."
After saying that, he stroked his chin and earnestly suggested, "You should also make a statement, so that if you embarrass yourself in the future, your brother's image won't be damaged along with you."
He swore that what he said was from the heart and there was no joking involved. Why did you draw your sword again?
Put it down now!!!
I want to stay alive to check how Brother Xiaolin is governing Jingguo!
The two teenagers of the same age also had a chaotic start today.
The general's mansion was extremely lively, and the gate was crowded with people watching the excitement. The common people looked in from outside and were amused to giggle from time to time.
"First of all, the guard I choose must be able to beat me!"
The young and beautiful girl held a scimitar in her hand, her features were rebellious and proud.
As soon as she finished speaking, the man who was fighting with her was defeated and kicked away by her with a "bang".
There was laughter outside.
"The young lady is mighty!"
"That's right. If you can't even beat our young lady, how can you be selected as a guard?"
The girl was so happy to hear the compliment that she showed her silver teeth with a bright and beautiful smile.
The general who was sitting in the main seat in the courtyard and watching also applauded happily.
The eldest daughter's name was Yuzhu. She was so disgusted that she eliminated the next candidate without even comparing them. She kept muttering, "No, no, he's too ugly and doesn't fit my aesthetics."
Shen Sinian, who was standing in line at the back: "???"
What? Does this really depend on appearance?
Thinking of this, I touched my cheek hesitantly. Wang had also praised me for being pretty, so there should be no problem. I can be chosen, right?
"Next!"
Yuzhu called out disdainfully, there is not a single one who can fight.
This is not their fault, because Southern Xinjiang is good at studying witchcraft and poison techniques, and does not pay much attention to martial arts. Compared with other countries, there are far fewer people with truly superb martial arts skills.
Hearing this, Shen Sinian tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword, and his clear eyes under his dark forehead shone like stars.
Behind the young man was the golden and energetic sun. The thin rays of sunlight fell on his slender yet upright figure, as if it was coated with a layer of gold. Combined with his exquisite and beautiful face, Yuzhu was caught off guard and her heart skipped a beat.
"Hey, hey, hey, Miss, you are distracted. Are you attracted to me?"
"It's really good to have a good-looking face, it's so delicious to eat soft rice."
"Even though I have no future, I still want to be a freeloader for the eldest lady."
The people outside started to joke again. Facing Yuzhu who was obviously absent-minded, the young man was puzzled. He looked at her calmly and politely with his elegant eyebrows and eyes: "Miss? Can we compete now?"
Yuzhu suddenly came to her senses and angrily shouted at the bustling crowd outside the door: "Who has fallen in love with him! I, Yuzhu, will never marry anyone except Master Wushi in my life!"
After saying that, she turned her eyes fiercely towards the young man and said viciously, "Your appearance is acceptable, so let me see how capable you are next!"
Shen Sinian showed respect to his opponent and bowed. His expression was always so serious and focused: "Please."
The girl was like an arrow shot from a bow, and with a "swoosh" she rushed in front of Shen Sinian, her slashing and stabbing moves were powerful, but he tilted his head, recalling his own king's swordsmanship, and gave the girl a round of criticism in his heart.
It looked powerful, but to him it was more like a bluff. It didn't send a chill down one's spine, nor did it give one any sense of oppression. The seemingly complicated sword moves were extremely easy to break. Compared to the king...
No, there is no comparison.
The surprise came out, and the experienced young controller calmly swung his sword to respond to the enemy. Just like his appearance, which was always calm and steady, the edge of the sword was also like this. He could identify the clues in the seemingly flawless attack and accurately capture the stillness in the movement.
Yuzhu gritted her teeth; after just a few rounds she was already at a disadvantage.
But seeing that the young man's expression was neither sad nor happy, he had no idea how much strength the other party had used.
“Zheng——”
The sword flashing with cold light was across her neck. Yuzhu took a step back in shock, cold sweat dripping down her forehead. The general sitting on the side watching applauded loudly and praised without hesitation: "Good skills!"
Thunderous applause broke out all around. Shen Sinian put away his sword neatly and said calmly, "Excuse me."
Yuzhu couldn't help swallowing the sun's water, and then smiled: "Not bad, it's you!"
After saying that, she happily threw herself into the general's arms and said coquettishly: "Daddy, you saw it too, this guy is good, I want him!"
"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever my precious daughter wants!"
The scene was not completely quiet yet. The young man stood like a pine or cypress, silently watching everything in front of him.
"General... General, that gentleman is here——"
Xiao Si was so frightened that he rolled and crawled forward to report. The general's face turned pale and he shouted, "Everyone, disperse."
The people who were joining in the fun outside also knew that the general was going to do some official business, so they ran as fast as possible so as not to cause any trouble.
"Yuzhu, you should also take this little brother and leave first."
"good."
Yuzhu crossed her arms over her chest and raised her chin: "Hey, come with me."
Shen Sinian followed obediently.
The heavy door closed, and someone entered the courtyard. The general's polite voice rang out: "Sir, please come in and take a seat."
"Oh, there is no need to be so harsh, General. We are both working for the King, so there is no need to distinguish between us."
The clear voice coincided with his memory, and Shen Sinian stiffened slightly, all the muscles in his body tensed in anger. He lowered his long crow feather eyelashes to hide the emotions in his eyes, and when he turned the corner and followed Yuzhu into the ancestral hall, he glanced at the man quickly from the corner of his eye.
She was pretty and elegant, with eyebrows and eyes like paintings, and her gentle face, decorated with spring flowers, was smiling at the general.
It’s Bingwen.
