The four brothers swore allegiance, and Lin Jinghan was satisfied. "Little Four, quickly take your brothers and settle down."
She is busy with her studies right now and really needs help with some things. She is happy to welcome them.
Because of this good mood, when he was invited to Gaoyuan Hall for dinner, the joyful mood almost infected Sikong Zhan.
"The emperor made a special trip to reward a little maid. This is unusual, so you should pay attention to it." Sikong Zhan didn't realize that he talked a little too much when facing Lin Jinghan.
Lin Jinghan was surprised—so this man placed Shiqin next to her so that she could monitor this maid? This was completely inconsistent with Sikong Zhan's style! According to Sikong Zhan's temperament, if he suspected someone, even if he didn't kill her, he would at least abandon her!
As if sensing her thoughts, he explained for the first time: "Putting hidden dangers out in the open and uncovering the mastermind behind them is the best way to avoid danger."
"Oh." Lin Jinghan nodded, picked up a piece of meat for Sikong Zhan, and said with a smile,
"I thought that a powerful prince like him would not care about those who do bad things behind the scenes." People like Sikong Zhan should be eliminated one by one, no matter what conspiracies or plots he has.
He hadn't really cared before, but now... startled by the change in himself, Sikong Zhan's gaze rested on Lin Jinghan's face: Was it because of her? Had she had such a huge influence on him? He shouldn't have cared so much about her...
Lin Jinghan's words stirred up a storm in Sikong Zhan's heart, but she herself knew nothing about it and continued to eat her meal happily. However, Sikong Zhan suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks and left.
"Prince, are you full already? Eat more!" Lin Jinghan shouted at Sikong Zhan's back, but Sikong Zhan didn't even turn his head.
She shrugged and continued eating, her cheerful mood unaffected.
On the martial arts field.
Sikong Zhan sent the guard flying with a single sword strike, then shouted at another guard, "Come again!"
It was not the first time for the guard to serve as a sparring partner. He rushed forward quickly, using all his strength, but was defeated before he could even withstand three moves.
"Come again!" As the battle went on, Sikong Zhan's fighting spirit grew stronger and stronger, and he made the guards suffer terribly.
On this side, Mu Wenyao heard that Sikong Zhan attended the morning court, and finally dealt with the military affairs at hand. Regardless of the fact that it was already dark, he rushed to the Jingnan Palace.
Mu Wenyao had just arrived and was nearly hit by a flying guard. He hurriedly supported him and was delighted when he saw the situation on the field. Sikong Zhan was looking for a sparring partner. He had only heard of it before, but now he finally saw it with his own eyes. He hurriedly asked, "Which one is this?"
The guard understood the meaning of the question, which was incoherent. He was asking how many guards had fought with the prince. He quickly replied, "Fifty-seven, no, the one entering the fray now is the fifty-eighth."
"Come on, everyone, stop for a moment. I'll be the fifty-ninth one." Mu Wenyao rubbed his hands, eager to give it a try.
With a bang, number 58 was knocked away, and number 59 - Mu Wenyao came on stage brilliantly.
"Prince Jingnan, I heard that your men have never been defeated. Even your master was defeated by you. This prince has long wanted to fight you. Come on, don't hold back, let's have a good fight!"
Sikong Zhan looked at him coldly, and there was an abnormal red in his obsidian eyes.
Mu Wenyao was in high spirits and didn't notice anything unusual. He drew his sword and threw himself into the battle.
The two of them exchanged several moves in a short while.
Mu Wenyao's martial arts were also taught by famous masters. Needless to say, his moves are exquisite, and the transitions are as smooth as flowing water. He uses each move with ease.
But that was only the initial state. Sikong Zhan's aura was the product of countless battles. Even the most sophisticated moves were mere show in his eyes. He quickly broke Mu Wenyao's combo with absolute strength, disrupting his rhythm.
Bang!
Mu Wenyao was not spared and was also knocked out.
Seeing Mu Wenyao flying out, Tang Xun hurried over, supporting him while asking with concern: "Prince, are you okay?"
Mu Wenyao helped Tang Xun stand up and rubbed the sore spot. "Sikong Zhan was really ruthless! It's really not easy to be your prince's sparring partner."
Seeing that Mu Wenyao was still trying to get closer to the martial arts arena, Tang Xun quickly stopped him, "My Lord, you are a delicate person, so why don't you go get beaten up?"
"Where is my delicate body?" Mu Wenyao stopped rubbing the sore spot and put his hands behind his back, acting like a master, as if the person who was thrown to the ground just now was not him.
The two of them watched the fight together. Sikong Zhan remained silent today, but his attacks were unusually ruthless. Seeing that the number of guards waiting in line for sparring partners was almost exhausted, Tang Xun sighed, "It seems we'll have to endure a second round of beatings..."
Mu Wen's eyes turned, and he waved towards Tang Xun like a melon-eater, whispering in his ear,
"Come, come, tell me your prince's itinerary for today."
After listening to Tang Xun's report, Mu Wenyao suddenly laughed - no wonder he was so fierce, this iron tree is about to bloom! He said to Tang Xun mysteriously: "Go and invite your princess over."
"Ah? Princess? Why invite the princess over? The princess looks so weak that she can't withstand the beating from the prince!" Tang Xun didn't understand.
Mu Wenyao slapped Tang Xun's head in annoyance, "Look at what Sikong Zhan has taught you, you are all blockheads. Who said the princess came here to practice with you?" However, her small body really couldn't withstand a beating, and she had to watch over her carefully in a while. In case Sikong Zhan went crazy and wanted to beat her, she would have to protect her.
In Nuanfeng Courtyard, Lin Jinghan was studying a book. Tang Xun asked to see her.
"Princess, the prince invites you to the martial arts arena."
It was so late, what was Mu Wenyao looking for her for? Lin Jinghan put down the book in her hand and asked, "Do you know what it is?"
"I don't know. Princess, please go over and take a look to find out the details."
Although Lin Jinghan was puzzled, she did not delay and said, "Lead the way!"
She walked out of the door and called several brothers from the Wu family to come over, and also brought two maids - although she believed in Mu Wenyao, it was late at night and she was meeting a strange man, so she should bring a few more people with her to avoid making Sikong Zhan, the stingy man, unhappy.
When she arrived at the martial arts arena, before she saw Mu Wenyao, she saw Sikong Zhan with an astonishing fighting spirit, knocking down several guards to the ground at the same time, which made her stunned - she had known for a long time that this man was good at martial arts and ruthless, but she didn't expect that he was so cruel to his own people!
"These people made mistakes?" What mistakes did Sikong Zhan personally punish them for? Lin Jinghan looked at Tang Xun.
Seeing Lin Jinghan coming from a distance, Mu Wenyao came over and said, "It's not that they made any mistakes, it's that the prince asked them to be sparring partners."
