Xuan Tianye's brain exploded with a buzzing sound!
Gambling with your life?
It turns out that this girl is waiting for him here!
But why is she so sure that she will win?
Xuan Tianye stood there, neither nodding nor shaking his head, but just looking at Feng Yuheng with full of speculation, wanting to find some flaws or see some thoughts from her face and eyes.
Unfortunately, Feng Yuheng was like a lake of calm water, without a single ripple, and no one could get a glimpse of her. But the expression on her face was firm and unquestionable, betting her life was betting her life, and she didn't hesitate at all.
Feng Jinyuan, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't hold it in any longer. He took two steps forward with his injured arm and advised Feng Yuheng, "Don't mess around. The Third Prince is a prince."
Feng Yuheng raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with the prince? Can't the prince fight with others?"
"Are you cutting and rubbing?" Feng Jinyuan was almost mad, "Who has ever heard of cutting and rubbing to gamble with one's life?"
"You heard it today." She smiled, "Is father afraid that I will beat him to death?"
Feng Jinyuan almost fainted, "I'm afraid someone will beat you to death! The Third Prince has been practicing martial arts since he was young. Whether fighting alone or leading troops into battle, he is an expert among experts. Aren't you looking for death?" He lowered his face and said seriously: "Ah Heng, you are still responsible for making steel for Dashun, but you must not make any mistakes."
Feng Jinyuan's words made Xuan Tianye feel suspicious. He originally thought that Feng Yuheng wanted to gamble his life with him, and there must be a conspiracy. This girl was cunning and good at using various drugs. He was afraid that during the fight, this girl would cheat and poison him and kill him. But now thinking about it, it seems that what Feng Jinyuan said makes sense. It is impossible for this girl to beat him, but if he hurts her, Dashun's steel will not be refined, and the emperor will put the account on him. The old man will never be on his side, and who knows what kind of unfair punishment he will give at that time.
After thinking about it this way, Xuan Tianye made up his mind that he would never gamble his life with Feng Yuheng, not even in a duel.
So he followed Feng Jinyuan's words and said, "Yes! My sister-in-law has an important task now, so it's really not easy for her to wield swords and guns."
Feng Yuheng laughed, "I didn't wield a sword, and I didn't handle a gun, where did Third Brother get this from?"
"I just want to avoid hurting you by accident."
"Oh, then Third Brother, don't worry, you can't hurt me."
"Hmm?" Xuan Tianye frowned. "It's hard to avoid deviations in a fight. Don't be too sure of what your sister-in-law says."
"Humph." Feng Yuheng sneered, "Third brother is too confident in his own abilities. Do you think you can hurt me?"
Xuan Tianye's anger was aroused. Although he knew clearly that Feng Yuheng was deliberately provoking him in order to achieve the purpose of the duel, these words made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Unfortunately, he was not a tolerant and generous person, nor did he have the tolerance to let go. Feng Yuheng's words really made him very angry.
But the girl didn't give up. She kept opening and closing her little mouth as she continued, "Father, you are the same. If you were worried that the Third Prince would get hurt, why bother saying it so much? I really thought that you were worried that I would be beaten to death, but after all, you were worried about the Third Prince. Sigh, it really makes me sad. Well, since I am sure that the Third Prince will lose this competition, I will not fight. I will give you face."
As she spoke, she shook her head helplessly and regretfully, then took two steps back and clasped her hands towards Xuan Tianye, "Father has asked me to do this, and as his daughter, it is not right for Ah Heng to disobey him. Third brother's life is much more valuable than Ah Heng's, and it would be bad if he got hurt. Let's forget about this competition." After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.
Xuan Tianye was furious: "Stop right there!"
His shout made Feng Yuheng happy and Feng Jinyuan cry. He knew that something big was going to happen today.
He couldn't help but look at Kang Yi, but saw Kang Yi shaking his head helplessly, indicating that he had no way.
At this time, Xuan Tianye said again: "Now that the words have been spoken, how can there be any reason to take them back?"
Feng Yuheng asked him doubtfully: "Isn't Third Brother greedy for life?"
You are the one who is greedy for life!
Xuan Tianye was so cruel that he couldn't cut off this girl's tongue!
"My sister-in-law is in a rare mood, how can I not accompany her? Someone—" he shouted, "Go and get my sword!"
"Wait!" Feng Yuheng suddenly raised his voice.
Xuan Tianye was stunned, "Did your sister-in-law regret it?"
She shook her head. "I don't care about such disgusting things as going back on my word."
Xuan Tianye wanted to cut someone's tongue again. Didn't he just regret it? This girl was scolding him for being disgusting.
"What does my sister-in-law mean?"
Feng Yuheng said, "I came in a hurry and didn't bring any writing materials, so please ask the Third Brother to ask the people in the palace to prepare some writing materials! Since this is a life-and-death bet, we have to sign a life-and-death agreement. Otherwise, I will beat the Third Brother to death, and if the people in the Prince Xiang's Palace turn their backs on me and entangle with me, that will be bad."
Xuan Tianye felt like there was a fire burning in his chest, he immediately ordered: "Prepare pen and paper!" He wanted to sign the life and death agreement immediately. Once the agreement was signed, if this girl didn't die under his sword today, he would not be named Xuan!
What steelmaking, what she was Lao Jiu's promised wife, at this moment, had long been forgotten. He was so angry at Feng Yuheng that he just wanted to pierce the girl in front of him with a sword!
Soon, the servants in the mansion brought the sword, and brought a table with the four treasures of the study on it, and the Princess of Xiang also followed out.
Feng Yuheng smiled and greeted Princess Xiang: "Third sister-in-law!"
Princess Xiang also smiled and replied, "It's been a long time since we last met, sister-in-law. How are you these days?"
"I'm fine." Feng Yuheng and Princess Xiang were very cordial, "Is Third Sister-in-law okay?"
Princess Xiang nodded, "I have asked the doctor from Baicaotang to come to the mansion every three days to see the patient, and everything is fine." As she spoke, she looked at Xuan Tianye, "Since my sister-in-law is here, why don't you invite her to the mansion to sit down?"
Xuan Tianye snorted angrily and said, "My sister-in-law is here to challenge me to a duel."
"Oh?" Princess Xiang's eyes lit up. "Your Highness has been practicing martial arts since he was young. Who doesn't know that Your Highness is very strong in martial arts? But I heard that Princess Ji'an is also a heroine, not inferior to any man. I wonder who will win or lose in this contest between Your Highness and my sister-in-law."
Kang Yi listened to the words of the Princess of Xiang, and then he began to think about it. There had been reports that the wife of the Third Prince was not on the same page with the Third Prince, and that she had been ill for many years. There were rumors that the Third Prince had given her medicine, which was why her illness had not been cured. Now it seems that the couple is really incompatible in appearance and even more so in spirit. How can a wife talk about her husband like this? It's not known who will win or lose, but even if you know that the King of Xiang will lose, you should at least make a stand, right?
But Princess Xiang hadn't finished her words yet, she actually said to Feng Yuheng again: "Sister-in-law, please show mercy!"
Xuan Tianye was almost mad with anger, and angrily asked the master who was writing the life and death statement: "Is it done?"
The lawyer nodded, "Okay." Then he unfolded the life and death agreement he had just written and said loudly, "Today, Princess Ji'an and Prince Xiang are willing to compete in martial arts and bet their lives. Regardless of life or death, neither party can pursue the matter afterwards!" After reading it, he held up another piece of paper with the same content, "There are two copies of the life and death agreement. After you two sign, you can each keep one copy."
Xuan Tianye nodded, "Okay!" Then he strode forward, picked up the pen and wrote his name with great force.
Feng Yuheng was no exception, he walked forward briskly and signed his name below. Then he thought for a moment, dipped his index finger in ink, and pressed a handprint next to his name.
Xuan Tianye followed suit, and the life and death agreement was established.
The two of them took one each and put it in their arms. Feng Yuheng then raised the corner of his lips and stepped back step by step, until he reached the empty field in front of the door, and then he raised the whip in his hand - "Third brother, Ah Heng is waiting for you."
Xuan Tianye also walked down the steps and stood opposite her. There was about ten steps between the two of them. The people from the Feng family and the Xiangwang Mansion who were watching consciously dispersed and tried to find a safer position. Everyone was afraid that if the two of them started fighting, they would be chopped to death by accident.
Feng Jinyuan felt flustered, but it was not a big deal. The more he looked at Feng Yuheng's determined eyes, the more he felt that Xuan Tianye would lose. He had already started to calculate in his heart, if Xuan Ye lost, would it be good or bad for him? Is it an advantage or a disadvantage?
Kang Yi saw the contradiction in his eyes and leaned over to whisper in his ear: "The Feng family has already chosen the third prince. Even if the tide changes again, do you think other masters will agree with you? By then, let alone negotiate terms, I'm afraid that even if you try your best to curry favor with them, they won't be happy with you."
Feng Jinyuan was shocked. Yes, how could a master who changed his allegiance halfway be on the same page with him? Now he was helping the King of Xiang. At least the King of Xiang promised him that he would marry a daughter of the Feng family, no matter whether she was beautiful or not. Even if she was not a legitimate daughter and could not sit on the throne, she would at least be the Imperial Concubine. What about other masters? Could he get such conditions?
"Master, do you think His Highness will lose?" Kang Yi's voice came again, full of doubt.
Feng Jinyuan nodded honestly.
"Ah Heng is so capable?" She was a little unconvinced. "You are her father, you should know something about it, right?"
Feng Jinyuan had no idea, so he could only tell Kang Yi: "Ah Heng learned all his skills from a Persian eccentric during his three years in the northwest. I have no idea."
"Persian strange man?" Kang Yi had doubts in his mind, "Master, have you ever seen that Persian strange man?"
Feng Jinyuan shook his head, "No. It is said that before she returned to Beijing, the strange man had already left. Speaking of which, during the three years they were in the northwest, our Feng family did neglect to take care of them, so many things are unclear. This child hates us for this reason."
Kang Yi became even more confused. Persia was just a legendary country and it was hard to say whether it existed or not.
According to legend, Persia is located to the west of Dashun, far away from Dashun, separated by the Tulan Grassland. That grassland has always been known as the forbidden land of death, and no one has ever been able to cross it to the other side. So how did the Persians come?
While she was thinking, Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianye had already started to fight. When Xuan Tianye said "please", Feng Yuheng's whip instantly stretched forward, and with a "snap" sound, the competition officially began!
