Chapter 244: Battle in court
Especially after Meng Zhi said that Baili Qi had great skills and Princess Nihuang might not be his opponent, Emperor Liang began to blame the Langya List, asking why Baili Qi was not included.

However, the matter still needs to be resolved in the end. Princess Nihuang has been guarding the southern border for many years, and a hundred thousand troops obey her orders. She is also capable herself, and she cannot be sent back to the southern border. It is too dangerous.

Just like the Chiyan Army and the later Changlin Army, even if they know that you have no intention of rebelling, the fact that you have the ability to rebel will make the emperor very wary.

The sixth brother Baili Qi is quite interesting. He was very low-key before, but suddenly emerged on the last day. Mei Changsu has a lot of plans.

Of course Shen Qingzhou knew that Baili Qi was a member of the Jiangzuo League, but he didn't know whether he was originally one or was replaced by someone else. According to the current situation, it seemed that he was originally his man. He was in Beiyan regarding the matter of the Sixth Prince of Beiyan, so it was normal for him to have some backup plans.

Shen Qingzhou also received the news that Emperor Liang would host a banquet for the top ten in the imperial palace tomorrow, and he would naturally be among them. There must be some explanation behind it.

In fact, Shen Qingzhou felt that there was something wrong with the rules. They were only for selecting the top ten and then letting Princess Nihuang choose. If you directly selected the strongest one, why would you worry about Baili Qi? Baili Qi would definitely not be your opponent.

However, in the eyes of many people, although I have learned some unique skills along the way, my combat power is just that. I am considered to have been manipulated behind the scenes. If I had met a master earlier, I might be the one who would make things difficult for Emperor Liang now.

Among the opponents Shen Qingzhou encountered along the way, the first one was the most powerful, and he didn't know how the rest got in.

However, when I thought about the fact that someone got hit by a chain hammer, I knew it was not a serious competition. Those who came were all powerful and wealthy sons of appropriate age.

On the second night, there was a royal banquet. The Crown Prince and Prince Yu were also present. Mei Changsu was also invited into the palace. He was the chief judge of the written test.

"Master Shen."

As soon as Shen Qingzhou entered the room, Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin and some others stood up and handed him his luggage, putting themselves in a low position.

This is actually very normal. Shen Qingzhou is a third-rank official. You can't treat him as the same person as yourself just because he participated in the martial arts competition to win a bride. Shen Qingzhou has made great achievements.

Shen Qingzhou looked around and knew that the prince and others would definitely be the last to appear. He didn't expect that Princess Nihuang had already arrived. He was also one of the few people who, like the people from other countries, did not take the initiative to greet him when they saw him.

She is indeed qualified, as she is a first-rank military marquis and her official position is much higher than mine.

"I have heard of the name of Princess Nihuang for a long time. It is an honor to meet you today." Shen Qingzhou went straight to Princess Nihuang. Princess Nihuang looked like she was really suitable to be a good wife and mother. She was heroic and beautiful.

"Lord Shen, you are too kind." Princess Nihuang looked at Shen Qingzhou who was so close to her. She had only seen him from afar before, but now he seemed to be full of vigor and vitality, unlike ordinary people. People in the imperial capital were all a bit lazy, and someone as energetic as Shen Qingzhou was rare.

However, he is too gloomy and not a good person. The first meeting is very crucial. The other party took the opportunity to sue the relatives of Duke Qing on the day when I went to Beijing. If you say it is a coincidence, then it is meaningless.

"Xuan Suzhe, come into the hall." A quarter of an hour after sitting down, Emperor Liang and Crown Prince Yu and Prince Yu arrived together. Mei Changsu was very impressive and became the center of attention for a moment. In fact, many people already knew that he was Mei Changsu, but they just didn't say it out loud.

Emperor Liang also tried to win over Mei Changsu. Because of his performance in the literary examination, he became a guest official and was given a seat below Princess Nihuang.

"After three rounds of drinking, it's boring to sit alone like this. Since these ten are warriors picked from hundreds, we must have a competition here," Prince Yu stood up and suggested.

"Hahaha, what Prince Yu said is not appropriate. How can you brandish swords in the court? Moreover, my father is here. I think, well, I think, well, we should stop at the right time in a duel." The competition between the crown prince and Prince Yu was in all aspects. No matter what Prince Yu proposed, he would directly oppose it. However, when his eyes swept over Mei Changsu, the other party shook his head slightly at him, and then he changed the subject and agreed.

Prince Yu was a little disappointed. He knew that his father held the banquet because he wanted to see Baili Qi's skills, and he made up for it.

"Hehehe, what the two princes said is very much in line with my wishes, but your subordinates must be careful in their conduct. Come on." Emperor Liang was happy.

"Your Majesty, I am Xiao Jingrui, and I would like to challenge the brave warriors of Baili." As soon as Xiao Jingrui heard the words of Emperor Liang, he immediately asked for a fight.

He simply wanted to try Baili Qi's martial arts first. He knew that he was no match for him, even with Yan Yujin. Qin Shangzhi's martial arts were no worse than his and he was the most skilled among the aristocratic families. He was defeated by Baili Qi with one punch, so naturally he was no match for him.

He just wanted Princess Nihuang to know more about Baili Qi. Knowing more is always a good thing. Baili Qi would naturally not refuse, as he is Mei Changsu's man.

This time, he displayed his martial power in order to make a splash and make Princess Nihuang and the Liang Kingdom feel a sense of crisis.

Xiao Jingrui didn't hold back and kicked out. Bailiqi didn't dodge either and punched out, knocking Xiao Jingrui back a few steps.

Now everyone knows that Bailiqi is a master, and Bailiqi also wants to show off his martial arts skills, so it is impossible to decide the victory or defeat with just one move.

The two men fought each other with physical blows, but after just five or six moves, Xiao Jingrui could only rely on his body movements to move. Unlike Baili Qi, the power of his horizontal training technique had already made Princess Nihuang a little worried.

Bailiqi just doesn't dodge. Even if you hit me, it won't cause any harm to me at all.

With another move, Xiao Jingrui used his foot to counter the fist and was directly knocked back four or five meters. Meng Zhi shook his head slightly, the gap was too big.

"Your Majesty, Jing Rui usually uses a sword." Yan Yujin took advantage of this gap to speak quickly.

With the permission of Emperor Liang, Meng Zhi rushed directly towards Xiao Jingrui with the sword in his hand. Xiao Jingrui raised the sword to the sky, fearing that Baili Qi would snatch it away.

After two moves, Xiao Jingrui had the sword in his hand, and within a few moves he slashed Baili Qi's chest. However, Baili Qi not only had excellent horizontal training skills, but also had inner armor on his body, so he didn't suffer much damage.

However, Baili Qi was furious and attacked faster. Shen Qingzhou looked at this scene and thought to himself that he was a real master of body building, he just had not practiced this kind of martial arts in this life. However, in terms of understanding of horizontal training techniques, Meng Zhi was far inferior to others.

Although Baili Qi was not injured on the surface, the true energy on the sword caused Baili Qi's true energy to be interrupted for a moment.

However, this kind of node, except for masters like him who were once much stronger than Baili Qi, even Meng Zhi would have to fight in person to detect it.

Of course, it is also related to the skills he acquired during his childhood. The skill of clear night vision was not very useful before, but after solving cases for a long time, it will be more or less useful.
