Chapter 315 Arrogant Toad
A few days later, Tang Yanyan brought news that Yang Rui was indeed chosen by the Yang family to be a concubine. Princess An was somewhat tempted, so she sent a letter to Prince An to ask for his opinion. As a result, Prince An flatly refused.
Unexpectedly, he quickly rushed back from Lu County and said that he was willing to personally accompany the princess to the Jiang family to propose marriage to show his sincerity.
On the day when the marriage proposal was successful, Tang Yanyan was so happy that she even went to show off in front of Lin Qingshuang. It is said that Lin Qingshuang was so angry that she immediately went to settle the score with Lin Anren.
From then on, Jiang Yuanmeng, the most popular girl in the capital, had found a lover.
A few days later, Tang Yanyan went to see Lin Qingshuang again, but this time she went to comfort her. It was said that Bai Hao and Lin Anhe went together to test the Fourth Prince, and the Fourth Prince said that he and Lin Qingshuang were not suitable.
After Bai Zhaozhao found out, he immediately sent Lin Qingshuang several bottles of top-grade medicine.
Soon, the news that Lin Qingshuang had beaten the Fourth Prince spread throughout the capital. Even several idle censors specifically impeached Marquis Guangping for not educating his daughter properly in the court.
Although everyone knows that this is not a big deal, the Fourth Prince is the emperor's son after all. Doesn't the emperor have any face?
So many people thought that Guangping Hou just needed to admit his mistake, but Guangping Hou said expressionlessly: "It's just a martial arts exchange, what does it have to do with education?"
What's even more speechless is that the Fourth Prince actually came out personally to refute the rumor, saying that he was not as skilled as others and was willing to admit defeat.
Finally, the emperor made his final judgment with a sullen face and asked Marquis Guangping to send someone to teach the Fourth Prince a lesson so that he could win back the dignity of the royal family the next time he competed with Lin Qingshuang.
That day, Bai Zhaozhao collected a lot of species in the suburbs. As soon as she returned to the yard, she heard the sound of fighting. The next moment, Zhu Hanyan jumped to her side.
"Zhao Zhao, come and watch the show."
"Okay!" Bai Zhaozhao said excitedly.
Soon, Zhu Hanyan took Bai Zhaozhao to the small bamboo forest at the back, only to see Zhao Lingxiao and a man in white fighting fiercely.
The two figures were flying, and sword energy was everywhere.
Bai Zhaozhao observed carefully for a while and quietly asked Zhu Hanyan: "It seems that they didn't use their full strength, but the eldest brother is more powerful and has been looking for an opportunity to beat him."
Zhu Hanyan nodded: "Yes, this is the man who has been pestering Senior Brother. There is no deep hatred, so naturally we can't really kill him."
Bai Zhaozhao immediately became interested: "Who is he? What is his current progress?"
Zhu Hanyan asked doubtfully: "Progress?"
"Ahem." Bai Zhaozhao pressed the corner of his mouth, "He's handsome and good at martial arts. Isn't Senior Brother tempted at all?"
Zhu Hanyan's eyes were a little horrified: "Moved?"
Bai Zhaozhao suddenly woke up and secretly cursed herself for having the rotten girl gene. This was the fate of the senior brother! How could she be tempted!
There were so many outstanding women who liked Xie Xingmeng at that time, but he didn't dare to be moved.
So Bai Zhaozhao explained: "Well, I mean, he is very determined. The eldest brother just ran away. Why do you have to beat him up?"
A smile flashed across Zhu Hanyan's eyes: "Because he is here to assassinate you!"
"What?" Bai Zhaozhao was confused. "He is here to assassinate me? Are you sure?"
"Well, today is the sixteenth time! These days, without your knowledge, he would come to assassinate you from time to time, so that the eldest brother would have to meet him."
Bai Zhaozhao: ...
"Well... Senior Brother is very dedicated, give him a little more monthly salary!"
Zhu Hanyan was immediately unhappy: "Why?"
"Because he could have run away, but he still did his job to protect me."
"I am also doing my duty to protect you."
"But you've been watching the show!"
"..."
Zhu Hanyan paused and said calmly: "But if the senior brother hadn't protected you, he wouldn't have assassinated you."
Bai Zhaozhao was silent for a moment: "That makes sense. Forget it, I won't increase the monthly salary."
Zhu Hanyan: “Yeah.”
Suddenly, a sword energy attacked Zhu Hanyan. Zhu Hanyan quickly dodged and sent out a wind blade with his backhand towards Zhao Lingxiao.
As a result, the man in white took advantage of Zhao Lingxiao's opportunity to dodge and rushed towards Bai Zhaozhao!
Bai Zhaozhao was startled, but reacted quickly. She shot out several flying needles and forced the man in white back several steps.
Just as Zhu Hanyan and Zhao Lingxiao were about to fight back, the man in white stepped back and said, "Zhaohe County Princess is indeed very skilled in martial arts. I am grateful for your teachings!"
Bai Zhaozhao's face straightened: "May I ask who you are?"
The silver-white man chuckled, his expression somewhat arrogant: "I am Zhong Jingyu! I am the eldest son of the second branch of the Zhong family. Princess Zhaohe would know this, right?"
Zhong Jingyu? The arrogant guy who said he would definitely win the first prize?
Bai Zhaozhao sneered inwardly, but appeared indifferent on the surface: "Oh, I really don't know. This county lady always likes quietness and doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the capital, let alone those who are not famous."
Zhong Jingyu said with some disdain: "Princess Zhaohe, I don't like women who play hard to get. It was not a wise move for you to reject the suggestion of Princess Qingyang last time!"
Bai Zhaozhao narrowed her eyes slightly, and her temperament changed. She looked at Zhong Jingyu with a hint of danger, but the other party responded to her with an even more disdainful look, and there was even a hint of disgust in his eyes.
Bai Zhaozhao lowered his eyes and stopped looking at him. He turned around and sat on a stone bench beside him. He put on a proud attitude, picked up a bamboo leaf and started playing with it. He said nonchalantly, "Some toads are so stupid that they have no self-awareness. They just begged others to pass on a message and thought they could get in!"
“You!” Zhong Jingyu seemed to have suffered a great humiliation, but he still held back and sneered, “Princess Zhaohe, don’t be so confident. Be careful not to slip your tongue. You’ll have to beg me for mercy later!”
"Really?" Bai Zhaozhao shouted in doubt, and then asked in confusion: "Then what should we do?"
Zhong Jingyu thought Bai Zhaozhao was scared, and said proudly: "Of course it is..."
"Of course you have to find a way to prevent me from having the chance to ask you for help in the future! Come on, kill him!" Bai Zhaozhao interrupted him and said lightly.
Suddenly, Zhao Lingxiao and Zhu Hanyan rushed towards Zhong Jingyu together, and the three of them fought each other.
"Ling Xiao! Are you serious about this?"
Soon, Zhong Jingyu was at a disadvantage and looked very miserable all over. Zhao Lingxiao and the others obviously did not kill him, but he still had some wounds on his body.
Bai Zhaozhao was very satisfied with his embarrassment, and said playfully: "Big brother, second brother, remember to hit the key parts! But don't kill him, otherwise it won't be fun! I'll give you more money later! Well, ten taels of silver for each person!"
Zhong Jingyu was ashamed and angry after hearing this. What does that mean? Is he only worth ten taels of silver?
Taking advantage of the opportunity to dodge, Zhong Jingyu shouted, "Ling Xiao, what has madness got you into? What on earth has this woman bewitched you to do? Why would a great master like you risk your life for a mere ten taels of silver? You might as well follow me, and I will hire you for tens of thousands of taels of silver!"
Who would have thought that after he said this, Zhao Lingxiao's moves became even more fierce, and Zhu Hanyan also started to take it seriously.
Zhong Jingyu was puzzled. Could it be that he really wanted the ten taels of silver?
But he had no time to think, otherwise the two of them could really cripple him. Helplessly, he quickly took out a whistle and started blowing it.
Wow, you still remember to call for help?
Bai Zhaozhao curled the corners of her mouth and said nothing, signaling Zhao Lingxiao and the other man to continue teasing him. She wanted to see what kind of reinforcements would come.
