As soon as I opened the curtain, I was stunned. Besides Sun Jingfei, there was another person on the corridor, who seemed to be talking quietly together. When they heard my voice, both of them turned to look at me at the same time.

Her clear eyes suddenly widened.

I couldn't recover for a while: "Qing - Qinghan -?"

Sun Jingfei was already standing at the end of the corridor, ready to go on stage. When he turned around and saw me, he was shocked at first, but he immediately recognized me: "Is that you?"

"Do you know each other?"

For a moment, the three of them faced each other and were speechless. Sun Jingfei was the first to come to his senses. As if he found it funny, a smile flashed in his sharp eyes and he looked at me with his arms folded: "What?

Are you here to tell me that my weapon has been tampered with?"

"..." I was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what he meant, and nodded towards him.

Sun Jingfei looked at me and then at Qing Han, as if he was very interested. At this time, another rapid drumbeat sounded on the battlefield. He cupped his hands towards us and said, "Thank you." After saying that, he turned and walked out.

As soon as the tent was put down, Liu Qinghan and I were the only ones left in the corridor.

There were hundreds of people inside and outside the Yaowu Building, and the noise of the people plus drums and shouts was loud. But at this moment, those sounds seemed to be blocked by a layer of canvas, leaving this small

, a secret, the only quiet space between heaven and earth.

He and I looked at each other and neither of us spoke again.

Such silence made people feel like they didn't know what to say for a while. After a moment of silence, they heard his deep voice: "Do you know him?"

"Well," I nodded and said softly: "I fell into the water in the palace before, but luckily he came to save me. He is my savior."

When he heard this, he immediately said: "Then are you okay?"

"It's okay." I said, smiling lightly: "It was a long time ago."

When he heard this, he also smiled. He seemed to be laughing at himself for asking such a stupid question. I was clearly standing in front of him properly.

Seeing that he fell silent, I spoke again: "Do you know him?"

He shook his head: "I don't know."

"Huh?"

"Just when I was in the backcourt, I accidentally saw someone tampering with a spear, so I rushed over and asked those who took the test today who was good at using a spear, and he was the first one I asked."

No wonder, when I first saw him, I found that he had been looking around, as if he was looking for someone.

"Originally, these things don't have much to do with me. It's just that--I recognized the people who did the tricks as Taifu Shen's people."

"So, come here and help him."

"I'm not here to help him."

"What?"

He smiled: "I just don't want my enemy to achieve what he wants."

"..."

As soon as I heard his words, I felt my heart skip a beat, and with an indescribable shock, I raised my head and looked at him.

The corridor supported by canvas is very narrow. The two people facing each other like this can even smell each other's breath. However, facing each other like this, they seem to be very far apart. There is an impassable and insurmountable ravine in the middle.

My back was pressed against the canvas that was blown slightly by the wind, and my heart seemed to be floating slightly.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, as if someone was coming.

I suddenly woke up. If someone saw me and him alone together like this, what if Pei Yuanhao knew about it——

Thinking of this, my face turned pale, and when he saw me, his face changed slightly, and he winked at me gently.

I understood, and I lifted the curtain behind him with my backhand at the same time, and retreated out. The moment I exited the corridor, I turned around and saw his fluttering clothes flashing, and his clear eyes looking towards him.

Me.

Just in a flash, the curtain fell.

I stood at this end of the curtain, still staring at the other side in a daze.

The curtain was still shaking, and my chest couldn't stop either. After a while, Shuixiu came over. When she saw me staring at the canvas in a daze, she immediately came over and pulled me: "Girl, what's wrong with you? Queen!"

The empress is asking you."

"Ah?...Oh."

It was then that I came back to my senses and was supported by her as I walked back. Walking back behind Chang Qing in the viewing pavilion, she took the heater I handed over and glanced at me: "What's wrong? You don't look good.

”

I forced a smile: "Nothing."

Pei Yuanhao, who was sitting next to me, turned around and looked at me when he heard this. I lowered my head to avoid his gaze.

Fortunately, the competition on the martial arts field was at its peak at this time. He didn't say anything more and turned around to continue watching. I breathed a sigh of relief and looked down. I saw only two people on the martial arts field. Sun Jingfei made

A long spear, like a dragon coming out of the sea, fought hard with the double hooks in Han Yue's hands. We were engaged in a fierce battle, causing the snow on the field to fly up and scatter.

But... I frowned slightly, isn't there something wrong with that long gun?

At this moment, I saw that this fierce battle had reached a critical moment. Sun Jingfei swung his spear, and the red tassel danced into a red flower in the air. The cold light flashed through, and the flying snow was shocked! Han Yue was unable to stop him, so he

Being able to retreat back, Sun Jingfei took advantage of the situation and danced his spear. With the sound of wind and thunder, he swung it towards Han Yue!

At this moment, Han Yue suddenly moved his double hooks horizontally to hold Sun Jingfei's spear, and then he held the silver hook and pulled it to both sides——

Just with a bang, the tip of the spear was forcefully pried off!

The people around him immediately exclaimed.

At this time, both the emperor and the empress were slightly moved and leaned forward involuntarily, and my heart suddenly rose to my throat - Qinghan and I had already reminded him, but we didn't expect that he still got the idea!

At this time, a cold smile appeared on Han Yue's face. He picked up the silver hook and swung it towards Sun Jingfei. After this huge change, Sun Jingfei did not panic. Instead, he used the handle of the gun as a long stick.

, danced around and deflected Han Yue’s blow.

But the wooden stick was cut into pieces by the silver hook.

Han Yue sneered, and kept swinging the silver hook with his bow left and right. A cold light appeared in front of his eyes. Sun Jingfei held a wooden stick and kept blocking it. Every time he blocked it, the wooden stick was shortened. Watching Han Yue step forward

The distance between the two people is getting closer and closer. The gun was originally the king of weapons. It is said that one inch is long and one inch is strong, but now it has become one inch short and one inch dangerous. His whole body has been included in the attack range of the silver hook.

Guilty!

Everyone around was nervous, and no one dared to take a breath.

In an instant, the gun shaft in Sun Jingfei's hand was only a foot long. Seeing Han Yue shouting, he picked up the silver hook with both hands and struck at him. He did not dodge and blocked it straight with the wooden stick.

Go up!

"Ah——!" Shuixiu on the side was so frightened that she let out a low voice and grabbed my hand.

My heart is in my throat!

At this time, the entire martial arts field became quiet, and there was not even a cough or gasp. Only the wind blew the remaining snow, making people feel a biting cold and desolate.

The two people on the battlefield were deadlocked.

Taking a closer look, Han Yue's double hooks cut off the last section of the stick, but before he could fight back, Sun Jingfei pushed forward the last section of the stick in his hand, and the front end of the stick was hit by the sharpened tip.

On Han Yue's throat!

Han Yue froze, staring at this unbelievable scene with wide eyes. He still held the double hook in his hand, but he didn't even have the chance to swing it again.

One move to win!

This blow was really dangerous and exciting! Everyone around was amazed, and even a few candidates couldn't help but applaud, saying: "Well done!"

At this time, the invigilator stepped forward and only glanced at it. Although he hesitated, he still announced in full view of everyone: "Sun Jingfei wins this competition!"

Suddenly, there was thunderous applause in Yaowu Tower!

I breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at Sun Jingfei on the battlefield. He stood in the center and saluted with fists raised in all directions. Then he turned around and cupped his hands towards the observation tower.

My heart moved slightly, and I subconsciously looked towards the other end of the observation building. Among the many officials there, I immediately saw the handsome and dark face.

With their eyes slightly bent, the two people looked at each other and smiled heartily.

After all, I still had some scruples in my heart, so I quickly withdrew my gaze and glanced at Pei Yuanhao cautiously. Fortunately, he was also looking down attentively. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he was appreciative, and he looked at Sun Jingfei.

Turning around and walking out of the martial arts arena, he slowly leaned back on the chair, only to see Chang Qing making almost the same movements as him.

He smiled and said to Chang Qing: "What did the queen think after watching the battle just now?"

Chang Qing also smiled: "I am just a layman."

"Hey, although the queen doesn't practice martial arts, her ability to recognize people is no less than mine."

"I am scared." Chang Qing lowered her head and said, "But the candidate just now is indeed superb in martial arts. The more difficult thing is to stay calm in the face of danger and think cleverly. Such people are talents."

"Well, I think so too."

Pei Yuanhao nodded, picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip. Green smoke rose from the tea bowl, forming a fog in front of his eyes. Even his eyes were blurred, as if he remembered something.

Looking back on the past, he said: "I actually saw the shadow of an old friend in him."

Chang Qing listened, but her expression was slightly sad. She was silent for a while and said: "I also watched that competition with my father. This Sun Jingfei does look a bit like -"

The two of them looked at each other and neither of them continued to speak, but there was an indescribable feeling of affection spreading in the air.

I felt a little clear in my heart, but also a little confused - who were they talking about?

Could it be——

Before I could think about it, Chang Qing thought for a while and said tentatively: "Since the emperor also thinks that he is a talent, then——"

Pei Yuanhao lowered his head to drink tea and said: "It depends on his performance in the third game."

When I heard this, I also turned my head to look at the martial arts field below. In the next few matches, there were winners and losers, and there were even cases where both sides were injured and unable to continue the match. However, this made the next third match even more tense.<

After resting for a while, I heard a rapid drum beat.
Chapter completed!
