573 Chapter 573 What's the trick?

When I got to his eyes, I even breathed tightly. When I recalled the sight of my eyes with Qinghan just now, I couldn't help but turn my face white and hurriedly lowered my head.

Shui Xiu, who was standing next to me, saw my ugly face and said softly: "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's okay."

I turned my eyes in a panic, and even Chang Qing felt something. I turned my head to look at me who was helpless, and looked at the other end. I didn't say anything, but just told Shui Xiu to take care of me more. At this time, the convoy was ready, and the emperor and Empress got on the carriage. After Concubine Li and Yunpin got on the carriage, I and Shui Xiu and Kouer got on the carriage behind.

The Holy Driving was not fast, and after half an hour, he arrived at Yaowu Tower.

As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw that it was already crowded. This was the biggest trip of the emperor since the last Taimiao sacrifice to heaven. The Imperial Guard sent a large number of people to guard it, three steps, one post, five steps, and one defense here, protecting it like an iron barrel. I stood beside the carriage, looked at the guards, and sighed softly.

Shui Xiu held my hand and said softly: "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

I didn't even feel like talking. I just shook my head gently, turned around and saw that the carriage on the other side had stopped. The familiar figure lifted the curtain and jumped down. Although he was wearing a wide-sleeved robe, his skills were still very agile, and his clothes flew like a crane.

I only looked at him and then looked away again.

After the ministers and the people knelt down, Pei Yuanhao took the queen, Lifei and Yunpin into the front gate together. Yaowu Tower said it was a building, but it was actually a large schoolyard. There was a three-story tower directly in front of the schoolyard, which was more than several meters high and was very majestic and solemn.

On the other sides of the martial arts field, there is also the Viewing Pavilion. Someone had already prepared the production stove and other items early. Pei Yuanhao slowly walked up and sat in the center with Chang Qing, while Nangong Lizhu and Ye Yunshuang sat at the closest to them.

Because today the emperor came to supervise the martial arts exam in person, all the candidates walked to the martial arts court and knelt down to the emperor and empress. I was standing behind Chang Qing and helped her hold a warmer. When I looked up, I saw a familiar tall and burly figure in the martial arts court. His handsome eyebrows and eyes were a little sharp, and his jaw was a bit crooked, which made him look more rough.

It's him?!

I was shocked, but fortunately the people around me didn't pay attention, and everyone was focused on the martial arts field below.

There were 48 people taking the exam this time, and there were three rounds of competitions.

In the first round, the 48 people were divided into two groups and a total of twenty-four groups. The twenty-four people who won can enter the next round of competition.

At the beginning of the first round, the martial arts are playing happily. My eyes kept chasing the familiar figure. Although I didn’t understand martial arts, I could see that he was neat and had a few moves to decide the outcome. Together with two other young men who looked a little rich, I was the first to win the first round.

The winner can leave the battle circle and stand and rest. Some people are already watching them and talking.

As soon as the drum sounded, Chang Qing had no sound, and her whole body and mind were devoted to the bottom. I looked at her clean side face and under her slender eyelashes, the originally calm eyes were constantly flashing. On several occasions, I seemed to have seen tears.

At this time, Pei Yuanhao stretched out his hand and gently covered her slender and cold hands. Chang Qing was slightly shocked and turned to look at him.

"emperor……"

"Queen, don't think about many things."

“…I know.”

She lowered her head gently, and Pei Yuanhao didn't say anything else, but patted the back of her hand. Her eyes were a bit sharp, looking at the figures that had already won below. When he saw the familiar figure, he seemed to be thinking.

After a while, he turned his head gently, and the Minister of War who was standing behind to serve immediately stepped forward: "Emperor."

Pei Yuanhao raised his hand and pointed at the bottom: "Who is that one?"

I stood beside me, looking along his fingers, pointing at that person.

The Minister of War looked down and bowed and said, "If you want to go back to the emperor, that person is Sun Jingfei."

"Sun Jingfei? Can anyone recommend it?"

"No. This person was originally from the fourth team of the Imperial Guards, Wuxu, and specially resigned for this martial arts examination."

"oh?"

Pei Yuanhao raised his eyebrows and looked at Sun Jingfei's eyes deeper.

The Minister of War looked at him and didn't know what the emperor was thinking. A look of nervousness appeared on his face. Chang Qing also heard it and turned her head and said softly: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with it?"

Pei Yuanhao glanced at her and smiled faintly, "Nothing."

That being said, his eyes were not the case at all. Even Chang Qing, I noticed that her expression when she looked at that person was a little different from usual. It seemed that the emperor and the empress had found some memories of the past in this person.

After a while, the first competition was over. When the candidates took a break, the next round of competition was about to be held.

In the second round, the weapons were tested.

While the candidates were going down to rest, someone had already carried a few wooden stands, with all kinds of weapons on them ready, and the cold light seemed more and more intimidating in the cold wind.

Chang Qing seemed to feel the chill. She reached out to hold the stove, but there was no temperature. She frowned slightly. Seeing this, I hurriedly took the stove and turned it on, and then it turned out that the incense inside had burned out.

She was about to turn around and call Kouer and the others, but when she saw these little girls looking down, I couldn't bear to disturb them, she said with her ears: "Please wait, please wait, the servant will go and help the empress get it here."

She smiled helplessly, as if she was angry that I was too pampering these children, so she could only let me go.

I held the stove and carefully retreated from the crowd, then got off the viewing pavilion and walked out of the gate. As soon as I left the gate, someone from the imperial guard immediately came up to salute me: "Mr. Yue, what are you asking?"

They watched it tightly.

I smiled bitterly in my heart, and didn't say anything. I just nodded, then took a pack of incense slices from the carriage, threw some into the stove, cleaned up for a while, and returned to Yaowu Tower.

As soon as I walked into the gate, I looked up and saw a familiar figure walking towards me.

Liu Qinghan!

As soon as I saw him, my heart suddenly jumped, and I couldn't help but squeeze the incense burner in my hand, but I saw that he looked abnormal and kept looking around, as if he was looking for something. He was about to come over. I just felt my chest pulsing and my heart contracted violently. I didn't know whether it was nervous or excited, but it seemed to jump out of my chest.

But immediately, Pei Yuanhao's vicious voice echoed in my mind—

"If you dare to have any evil with him, I will chop him up!"

Before leaving the palace, he and I didn't even contact each other, just smiled at each other. Pei Yuanhao looked at us, as cruel as if he was about to strangle my throat.

Although I know that Pei Yuanhao admires him very much and even relies more on him now, I know better that if the emperor really wants to kill him, he will never show any mercy. I have already tried Pei Yuanhao's methods and said he is afraid, I don't care anymore, I just don't want him to do it too-

When I thought of this, I subconsciously flashed to the path on the side.

He was looking around but didn't notice me, so he hurriedly walked towards the other end.

I stood in the corner, watching his figure disappear, holding the stove tightly in my hand, but suddenly it turned out that the stove was not very warm either.

No matter how warm the thing is, it cannot withstand the chill in my heart.

I was silent for a while before sighing dejectedly. I was about to turn around and leave, but I heard the sound of two people's very low conversations on the other end of the canvas tent supported behind me-

"Hey, are you ready?"

“Everything is ready.”

"This time the emperor and the queen are here, so don't show their strength."

"Don't worry."

As soon as I heard this, my heart skipped a beat. In the martial arts field, except for the viewing pavilion in front, all the candidates changed their clothes and used canvas to hold up the tent to temporarily build these sheds. The candidates rested on that end, and this was the place where people from the Ministry of War prepared and rested.

Do they say these words - is there something wrong with the martial arts examination?

Thinking of this, my heart thundered, trying hard to suppress my tremor, walked over carefully, trying not to touch the canvas tents, held my breath and listened carefully, and heard the two people whispering again: "Of the people of us, only the one named Sun is good at using guns. If he comes on stage later, he will definitely pick up guns and fight."

"Hehe, but he didn't expect that we were already on that gun-"

"Shh, be careful, don't let people hear it."

"knew."

"This time, Lord Shen's nephew is determined to win the martial arts champion. We cannot let this guy come out and mess up our plan. Otherwise, Lord Shen will be popular together and will not be able to take advantage of it."

...

Lord Shen, it’s Shen Gong again!

I frowned. It seemed that they suffered a loss in the Gong Academy's scientific examination two days ago. Shen Gongyi was not giving up. He also knew that Pei Yuanhao's martial arts examination this time was for the commander of the Imperial Guard to select talents, so he was determined to win. He actually used such a secret trick behind his back! It sounded that those people should have tampered with the spear that Sun Jingfei was good at using!

Oh no, let alone if they win, Pei Yuanhao will be out of his way, and there will be no swords in the exam. What if Sun Jingfei is injured?

No, they must not be allowed to succeed!

Thinking of this, I didn't go back to the viewing building and hurriedly walked towards the other end, but there were many canvas sheds here and there were many people around me. After finally squeezing over, I heard a rapid drumbeat sound in the martial arts field, and a loud voice said: "First game, Sun Jingfei is against Han Yue!"

Oh no, he's going to play!
