The martial arts of Beitang Mengze and Xi Men Yu were on the same level!

If he had not spent more of his time and effort on military strategy and tactics, but had practiced his martial arts as hard as Xi Men Yu did, his martial arts might have been even better than Xi Men Yu's!

"Yes!" Beitang Mengze deserved it! He should be ranked fifth! As for the sixth, I also have a candidate! "

"Who?"

"Beijing's number one swordsman, Shen Suyun!"

"Shen Suyun?" It's that Shen Suyun who is going to duel with me in half a month? "

Duel?

Bing Ying suddenly remembered that there was a life and death battle between Shen Suyun and Xi Men Yu! Furthermore, the time was drawing closer and closer …

"Xi Men Yu! Can you grant me a request? A request! My friend's request to you! "

"Speak!" As long as I can do it, I will promise you! "

"Can you not fight with Shen Suyun?"

"Why?"

"I don't want to say why. Because I don't want to deceive you! Can you promise me that? "

"I can't agree to that!"

"Why?"

"I am a swordsman! The promise of a Blade Master was more important than his life or his sword! Since he and I have decided to compete, then we must compete! No matter the reason, it could not be cancelled! Furthermore, even if I wanted to cancel it, I'm afraid that he would not agree to it! "

"Why?"

As she said this, Bing Ying became even more confused.

"The people outside thought it was me challenging Shen Suyun for fame, but he actually wants to compete with me in martial arts!"

"Oh? How could this be? "

It was the first time Bing Ying heard this.

Even Shen Suyun himself had never revealed it like this!

Xi Men Yu said seriously: "I have never challenged him! This so-called reputation of a swordsman is not important at all to me! "

Bing Ying was a little surprised.

Although Xi Men Yu said those words with a bit of arrogance, it was the truth.

A man like him would never care about fame!

It seemed that he wasn't speaking nonsense. Rather, he was actually doing such a thing.

Xi Men Yu continued: "In fact, I almost never showed up at all! My grandfather took the half-broken dagger to find Shen Suyun, who immediately agreed to my grandfather's request! Furthermore, he took the initiative to suggest that he could duel with me, allowing me to win the reputation of number one swordsman in the world! When I found out about it, I objected! If he wanted to win, he had to do so fairly! A duel to lose to me was an insult to a swordsman! Later on, he promised me that he would do his best to fight me! I also admire his martial arts very much. I also want to know who's stronger! That's why I agreed! "

"So there was actually such an inside story!" Why is Shen Suyun so sensitive to that broken dagger? "

"I don't know either!" Grandpa never told me! I've never asked either! "

Bing Ying knew in her heart that this half sword must have had a very, very important relationship with Shen Suyun! Otherwise, how could he have abandoned his hard-earned reputation as the number one swordsman in the capital?

However, she had once asked Shen Suyun what difficulties he seemed to have but refused to reveal them.

However, from the looks of it, this fight really couldn't be avoided!

After that, the two of them started the ranking again with interest. The first was Beitang Ao, the second was Xi Men Kui, the third was the female hero from Snow Mountain, the fourth was Xi Men Yu, the fifth was Beitang Mengze, the sixth was Shen Suyun, the seventh was Prince Cheng, the eighth … Ninth... Tenth... Twenty-seventh … 28th …

There were only a few experts that Bing Ying knew, but they were all the most powerful ones in the world! On the other hand, Xi Men Yu rarely came out to roam the martial arts world. Most of the people he knew were people who had competed with him in martial arts battles, and more than half of them had died under his sword.

Therefore, the two of them would be in a state of disarray when the time came. In the end, there were no more candidates. Bing Ying had even gone ahead to find a maid, Qiao Ling! In the end, Qiao Ling was ranked 31st on the list of experts in the martial arts world!

Under the dark night sky, the two of them chatted casually.

Bing Ying was not in a good mood, but Xi Men Yu was not familiar with the affairs of the world.

They chatted all the way until dawn before returning to their own rooms to rest.

Early in the morning of the next day.

When the servants opened the door to the palace, they suddenly discovered a strange blue medicine bottle at the door.

The servants quickly reported it to Steward Jane, who also felt it was strange. Thus, he quickly reported it to Nangong Xiu.

Nangong Xiu looked at it carefully and then sent his ghost slave to secretly go to the Beitang Estate and feed the pills inside to the Beitang Xiu'er!

Of course he knew why the antidote had appeared at the door of the manor!

Last night, he went to the palace overnight to request the Emperor to abdicate his position as Crown Prince. Moreover, he even had a huge quarrel with the Emperor. This matter had most likely spread throughout the Imperial Palace! No matter if the other party was Nangong Lie or Nangong Yan, they must have already received the news!

Thus, he sent someone to deliver the antidote to his door!

Nangong Xiu naturally did not suspect that the antidote was fake. He had already resigned from the crown prince, since the other party had already achieved his goal. There was no need for him to hurt an innocent child.

After receiving the antidote, Nangong Xiu was completely at ease!

This was the last thing he could do for Icy Jade!

He could have casually given the antidote, but this would have won the Beitang Clan's gratitude. However, he did not want to do that. He sent the ghost slave to sneak into the Beitang Estate and secretly feed the antidote to the Beitang Inn without anyone noticing …

He just didn't want the woman to be sad because of her dead sister, but he didn't want to take credit for it. He also didn't want to cause a misunderstanding or a false impression. He wanted to make Bing Ying think that he was making up for something so that she could change her mind!

Six hours later.

The imperial palace had sent a decree for the eunuchs to come to the palace, summoning Prince Xiu to the palace!

It was the sixty-first birthday of the current emperor! The general amnesty was under the sun, the officials were cheering, the palace was decorated, gongs and drums were ringing in the sky, and singing and dancing were arranged for the evening, along with a banquet to celebrate with the people!

Noon, the celebration began!

The Imperial City was filled with liveliness and celebration, and the first grand ceremony of the celebration was the Emperor's Blessing Sacrifice Ceremony!

Consort, eunuch, prince, princess, official, military general, noble, aristocratic family … All the influential figures of the Imperial City were present at the Rites of Blessing. Tens of thousands of people crowded the entire venue, not even a drop of water could trickle through as a sea of people could be seen …

Nangong Chen was greeted respectfully by the buddhist cultivators. He wore a dragon robe and a purple gold crown on his head as he walked towards the altar in a solemn and sacred manner.

Amongst the crowd.

Xiao Fei took a few steps back and came to Nangong Xiu's side, whispering, "Xiu-Er! What's the matter with you? Do you know what kind of stupid thing you did? "

Nangong Xiu said, "Your son knows his crimes!"

Xiao Fei said, "Since you know your crimes, why did you do it?"

Nangong Xiu said, "Your son and the wangfei have already lost their relationship. We can no longer get along with each other!"

Xiao Fei asked, "What are you talking about?"

Nangong Xiu was startled. "What is mufei saying?"

Xiao Fei said: "I'm asking you, why did you enter the palace last night to make your royal father angry? What did you just say? What feelings have faded? Unable to get along with him? What happened to you and Ying'er? "

Nangong Xiu said, "We want to go with Li!"

Xiao Fei was a little angry. "You're really stupid! How can you leave Ying'er? How can you give up on the crown prince? Do you know that your second brother hasn't even been able to become the crown prince for twenty years? "

Nangong Xiu smiled bitterly, "Then let second brother be the crown prince! I don't care anyway! "

Xiao Fei asked, "Why don't you want to be Crown Prince?"

Nangong Xiu said, "My martial arts are too poor and my reputation is not good either. I'm afraid the Crown Prince will laugh at me!"

Xiao Fei said solemnly, "Could it be that mufei doesn't know what sort of person you are? You were born to me, can you fool me? Tell the truth! I want to know the reason! Your royal father summoned me last night and fiercely reprimanded me for not disciplining my son properly! "

Nangong Xiu felt somewhat guilty and said, "Mufei! This son has implicated you! "

Xiao Fei said, "You're implicated? What was a scolding? Do you know that the Emperor now has a new edict in his hands? He was about to announce the proclamation of the crown prince! If this Crown Prince's candidate was not your second brother, but Nangong Lie! We're all done for! "

Nangong Xiu said, "Mufei. This son will ensure the safety of you and second brother! "

Xiao Fei snorted coldly. "On what basis are you ensuring our safety? You're not the crown prince! Only when you become the crown prince would you have the right to say such words! Unfortunately, you foolishly gave the crown prince position that you had in your hands to me! "

Xiao Fei was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She couldn't sleep last night!

Who would have thought that after working hard for decades, he would end up getting killed by this disobedient little bastard!

How could she still sleep so soundly?

Suddenly, on the altar.

Nangong Chen's old and vigorous voice of a chief resounded!

"Obeying the fate of the heavens, the imperial edict! I am blessed with the blessing of the heavens, I will live sixty percent of my life, and I am here to offer my blessings to Xie Tianshui. Pray that the weather will be smooth for me, that the country will be peaceful, and that more will be blessed! Today, I shall use this opportunity to sacrifice to the heavens and report to the people that the unparalleled benevolence and filial piety of the Fourth Prince, Nangong Xiu, shall be conferred the title of Crown Prince of the current dynasty! "

The first half of the decree wasn't taken seriously, but the second half wasn't taken seriously at all …

The fourth prince, Nangong Xiu, bestowed the title of the unparalleled benevolence and filial piety as the current crown prince of the dynasty …

Xiao Fei was dumbfounded when she heard this!

Even Nangong Xiu was dumbfounded!

At the same time, they suspected that something was wrong with their ears!

However, all of the officials turned their gazes towards Nangong Xiu. Their gazes were all fixed on the slightly astonished and beautiful face … That fiery gaze of jealousy, envy, and adoration felt so real!

"Ah!" Did you hear that just now? Your majesty, the emperor seemed to have said that he would grant you the title of crown prince! You're the crown prince! Mufei, are you dreaming? "

Xiao Fei was so excited that she lost her head!

Nangong Xiu was even more surprised!

He had clearly already resigned from the position of crown prince and had a huge quarrel with his royal father last night, making everyone in the palace aware of the ruckus! Even the Divine Laughing Demons had received the news, so they sent someone to deliver the medicine this morning.

Why did royal father bestow upon me the title of crown prince?

Nangong Xiu was suspicious, but he remained calm on the surface.
