The two talked for a long time. When the sun set, Xia Yanwu left. He had shown enough sincerity and was only waiting for Ning Chen to give him an answer.
He believed that Ning Chen would make a correct judgment. Nowadays, in the battle for the throne, the situation is mixed, but it is gradually becoming tilted. In the end, strength must decide everything.
After Third Prince left, Ning Chen still sat quietly, drinking a cup of tea and meditating seriously.
It's time for him to make a choice. No matter Third Prince or Tenth Prince, one person will always ascend to the throne.
"Mingyue, who do you think is suitable to be the emperor, Third Prince or Tenth Prince?" Ning Chen looked at the little girl playing with the luminous pearl boredly and asked softly.
"You are suitable" Mingyue said without raising his head.
"..." Ning Chen is speechless, there is nothing left to talk about.
At this moment, the old housekeeper walked into the hall and said respectfully, "Marquis, someone outside sent this letter."
Ning Chen frowned, tore open the envelope and took out the letter inside. When he saw the signature at the end of the letter, his eyes narrowed slightly, it was him.
This is a letter of challenge, sent by Mu Qianshang.
He was about to enter Xiantian, and before that, he wanted to understand the unfinished battle before.
He owed him a favor. In the past, if Mu Qianshang did not let him enter Azure Frost Valley, he would not be able to get Rhombus Crystal Flower. This time, he had to go to the fight.
"Mingyue, I want to go out for a while, will you go?" Ning Chen glanced at Little Mingyue and asked softly.
"Go" Mingyue jumped down from the chair, put away the luminous pearl, stepped forward and stretched out his little hand.
Ning Chen took the little girl's hand and immediately gave a few instructions to the housekeeper before leaving the Hou Mansion.
Haowu Prince's Estate, Xia Ziyi is the first Imperial Prince to be crowned king, and his mansion is also the largest among the Imperial Princes. This shows how much Xia Emperor valued Great Xia's First Prince during his lifetime.
When Ning Chen and Mingyue arrived, Ninth Princess was about to leave. When he saw the two coming, he sat down again.
"How is the injury?" Xia Ziyi asked. He knew that Ning Chen's injury was much more serious than the outside rumors.
"It's okay for now," Ning Chen replied.
"What do you mean you came here at this time?" Xia Ziyi asked suspiciously.
"Ink Sword Can it be repaired?" Ning Chen said slowly.
Xia Ziyi shook his head and said, "It still needs some time. Why do you ask about this suddenly? Your skills are enough to deal with anyone in the world even without a sword, so why rush it?"
"This time is different." Ning Chen sighed softly and said, "The opponent is Mu Qianshang. I have to use my sword."
"Compassionate Sword Heavenly Pavilion's young master?" Xia Ziyi frowned slightly. He had heard of this man. He was a master of swordsmanship. Even Compassionate Sword Heavenly Pavilion's elder was defeated by him. Now he just waits for the moment to step into the innate world.
"Yeah" Ning Chen nodded and briefly explained what happened between them.
"There is indeed some trouble," Xia Ziyi said with a worried look on his face. Fortunately for others, this Mu Qianshang is a sword prodigy who has not been born for a century. If Ning Chen doesn't have a sword, his chances of winning are too slim.
With the two people's cultivation, ordinary swords are definitely not good. If they can't stand a few moves, they will be unable to withstand it and collapse on their own. The autumn water in his hands has been contaminated with too much Confucian Grand Righteous Qi, which will have a big impact on Ning Chen.
"Brother Emperor, have you forgotten that there is actually a sword in the palace, but I don't know if the Queen Mother is willing to lend it to me," Xia Xinyu reminded.
"Great Yin Azure Sparrow Sword" After being reminded by Ninth Princess, Xia Ziyi also thought about it and immediately frowned again.
"This is the sword of the previous dynasty, and my mother may not agree with it," Xia Ziyi said with some uncertainty.
Ning Chen thought for a moment, stood up and said, "I can't care so much anymore, I have to give it a try, Mingyue, let's go."
"Go now?" Xia Ziyi was startled and asked.
"The time is tonight," Ning Chen said helplessly.
Xia Ziyi was slightly startled. It seemed that Mu Qianshang was about to take this step. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so anxious.
"Xin Yu, please go back together," Xia Ziyi turned his head and said softly.
"Yeah" Xia Xinyu hesitated slightly, then nodded.
The three of them walked all the way to the palace. Ning Chen didn't speak because there was something on his mind. Xia Xinyu was slightly embarrassed. Since the last engagement, she was afraid of being alone with Ning Chen.
Mingyue's heart is like a mirror, and he said nothing, looking at the bad guy, then at Xia Xinyu, and then curled his lips.
She felt that this Great Xia Ninth Princess was not worthy of a bad person.
Xia Xinyu felt even more embarrassed after feeling Mingyue's gaze, and deliberately avoided Little Mingyue's gaze.
Ning Chen also came back to his senses at this time, glanced at the little girl, and immediately understood what was going on. He gently patted Little Mingyue's cloth hat and said, "Kid, don't think nonsense."
Mingyue smiled silly, looking as pure as a little white flower.
The three of them entered the palace quickly. Logically speaking, it would be troublesome to enter the palace at this time. However, Xia Xinyu and Ning Chen had unusual identities. No one dared to stop them. The guards guarding the palace gate let them go directly after seeing the tokens in their hands.
Changsun was not at the Heavenly Edict Hall, but returned to the Weiyang Palace. It was not convenient for Ning Chen to enter the harem, so she could only wait at the Heavenly Edict Hall.
After waiting for a while, Qing Ling came first, asking him and Little Mingyue to wait.
After a long time, Changsun and Ninth Princess came over. In Xia Xinyu's hands, he was holding a mahogany box more than five feet long. It was engraved with dragon patterns and covered with a yellow scarf. It looked extremely noble.
"Return it immediately after use," Changsun said seriously.
This is the sword of the previous dynasty, and it is logical that it cannot be reborn. However, due to the safety of Ning Chen, she had to make an exception.
"Definitely" Ning Chen promised.
Borrowing the sword was much smoother than expected. Ning Chen didn't stay long and left with Mingyue.
"Be careful. If you can't beat him, just admit defeat." When Ning Chen left the palace, Changsun said.
"Ha" Ning Chen paused for a moment, chuckled, and then continued walking.
Give up? Maybe.
After Ning Chen left, Changsun looked at his daughter beside him and sighed softly, "Xin Yu, my mother hopes that you can carefully consider your marriage to Ning Chen. Don't regret it after missing it."
Xia Xinyu was silent and nodded slightly.
On the way back, Mingyue was tired and didn't want to walk. Ning Chen had no choice but to carry the little girl on his back again. It had been a long time since he had carried the little girl on his back, and Little Mingyue had weighed a lot.
"Bad guy, are you sure you can win?" Mingyue lay on Ning Chen's shoulder and said softly.
She doesn't understand this, but that doesn't mean she can't see the worry in other people's eyes. The bad guy is still injured, and he hasn't fully recovered since he came back from the Buddhist Kingdom.
Little Mingyue I don't know, but Ning Chen was seriously injured again two days ago. Now he has new injuries and old injuries, all over his body.
"Of course I'm sure. When have I ever lost before?" Ning Chen said it easily and smiled gently. In front of Mingyue, he always showed his best side.
Mingyue tightened his arms and whispered, "I'll wait for you at home, so I won't cause any trouble for you."
Ning Chen smiled and said, "When did you become so sensible? It seems that we Mingyue are about to grow up."
"I don't want to grow up"
What Mingyue didn't say later was that when he grew up, he wouldn't be able to carry her on his back.
Yiyi The breeze blew past the two of them, and the little cloth hat shook. The long hair in it was entrusted with the best trust in the world. In just a few months, too many things had happened to this place, but this trust and dependence had never changed.
The two returned home, Mingyue ate something and then went to bed. Tonight, they did not pester Ning Chen to listen to stories.
Great Yin Azure Sparrow Sword was inserted on the stone slab in the courtyard, Ning Chen stood quietly, resting his mind, raising his fighting spirit to the highest peak of his life.
This is the fairest battle since he came to this world. There is no grudge or interest, just a showdown in martial arts.
Prince Yan Mansion, Great Xia's contemporary legend kept looking in the direction of Zhiming Marquisate. The sword stand in front of him was motionless. He thought he would come to borrow the sword, but he didn't come. So that's fine. This was a fair fight. He would wait and see what brilliant sparks there would be.
The most important thing for a martial artist is to focus. Ning Chen is distracted by too many other things. Since entering the martial arts, there has never been a battle for oneself. Once the battle is mixed with conspiracy and interests, too much is lost.
He really wanted to see how far Ning Chen could reach when he unleashed all his strength.
In Zhiming Marquisate, the fighting spirit became more and more intense. Great Yin Azure Sparrow Sword moved automatically without wind and trembled slightly. The next moment, the sword rushed into the sky and drew the most beautiful brilliance.
"Coming"
The young man, who was hundreds of miles away from the imperial city, slowly spoke after seeing this ray of light above the sky.
In Great Xia Imperial City, several eyes saw this sword full of fighting spirit, with shocked expressions on their faces. This sword came from Zhiming Marquisate.
"Go and have a look" Lingyan Pavilion, Su Feiyan stood up and walked outside the pavilion.
"Yes" Qiulan responded and followed immediately.
Divine Wind Camp, Xia Yanwu left the tent, and after a moment of silence, they left the military camp.
At the same time, people from other directions in the imperial city who were above rank nine came out. They wanted to see with their own eyes whether Great Xia's Marquis of Knowing Fate was really as powerful as the rumors.
Weiyang Palace, Qing Ling and Changsun stood in front of the door, looking at the west, praying silently for this battle.
Ministry of Justice In the west hall, Hongzhu swayed, and Yin Wugou stood quietly in front of the window, wearing a coquettish red robe, reflecting a plain expression, saying nothing.
"Master, aren't you going to watch?" Shang Han said softly, he knew that Master was concerned about this battle.
"No need, the boss will not lose." Yin Wugou shook his head and said calmly.
The moon is like a hook, drawing out the lights of thousands of houses. Ning Chen left the house, walking slowly and leisurely. After a few steps, a faint shadow was left in the sky.
The Great Yin Azure Sparrow Sword in the sky fell, with a clang, and returned to its sheath.
The plain clothes with the sword are no longer bound by the conspiracy tonight, and they are full of fighting spirit, which is sharper than the sword.
A quarter of an hour later, Su Yi appeared a hundred miles away from the imperial city, and the moon at midnight illuminated the entire world.
"Please"
Under the ink-white cloak, with demonic eyes like the moon, this is the most handsome person in the world. With his body and sword, he belongs to the world.
"Please"
The plain clothes spread their hands, the cold wind was blowing at the tail of the clothes, the calm face was still the same as before, only the fighting spirit was there, and the sword was fierce.
The two strongest people under Xiantian finally stand face to face. Tonight will be the pinnacle battle between Xiantian.
"Bang"
The next moment, frost and snow fell, and the two bodies suddenly intertwined...
