Travel To The World Of Ca Li
Arena at Banquet
The moonlight infiltrated illuminate part of the forest. A vast campground, rustling sounds rang out from one of the rough swaying shrubs. Not because of the wind, it was a little girl who looked quite eccentric, she jumped out from behind the bushes. No one was watching, no soldiers patrolling through. What luck.
"Haa.., so torturous just stay there." It was Su Yiyang, he let out a rough sigh as he ducked cleaning the corner of his clothes that were smudged by the soil. He said it was excruciating, but he was about to fall asleep waiting boredly behind the bush.
This girl secretly infiltrated her family's train to be able to see hunting events. However, the clothes worn in pink are conspicuous for the category of intruders who are supposed to be dressed in dark. Really, he likes to watch the crowd. Somehow he got away unnoticed.
The welcome night event was going on, making Su Yiyang only need to hide as it passed the patrolling security soldiers.
His steps were so careful, he looked around looking for the tent that his friend Xiu Qixuan lived in.
Suddenly his body staggered violently when someone pulled his arm. He flinched and almost shouted cursing; "Damn where yan— is from..," When his head turned, his mouth quickly clenched back tightly.
"Hey, you stupid..." A handsome yet annoying voice rang out from the figure of the pitch-brown-haired young man. He gripped onto Su Yiyang's arm with a hint of new strength then violently flung it away.
With a stiff face that held back a stupor, Su Yiyang greeted with a broken gesture. "I salute His Highness the Ninth Prince." He said in a lazy tone.
Shen Wanqi, the Ninth Prince, looked at him sharply with a grunt inquiring. "What are you doing here?"
"Especially if not see the crowd..," he murmured himself with a bow so that his interlocutor does not hear.
Aghh!
The shrieks of the earthy woman suddenly sounded from the direction of the dinner banquet that was two kilos away from where they were standing. It was quite far away yet could be heard due to the quiet forest.
Su Yiyang and Shen Wanqi each raised their heads and stared at each other. A split second they fell silent in thought before finally Su Yiyang who had first rushed towards the source of the sound. Not wanting to be left behind, Shen Wanqi followed running behind him. It seemed like Su Yiyang had forgotten that he was infiltrating this place.
••••••••••••••••••••••
"....Crazy SU. Get down you!" Shen Wanqi exclaimed loudly from below. He looked up at the big tree branch that was not far from the dinner banquet.
"Whispering..," Su Yiyang replied without even looking at it. His eyes were focused in one direction, he was climbing a tree. This is the best place to see what is going on at the dinner.
In Su Yiyang's gaze, he saw Xiu Qixuan who was standing facing the Emperor with the red-haired man kneeling down. Predictably it was the Young Master of the Duan family.
But Su Yiyang's forehead shriveled when he saw the arena fighting in the middle of the field during the banquet.
"Fuhuang is always heart-felt. The arena was prepared for the nobles who are talented in martial arts to fight each other fairly and the winner will be the hunting participant tomorrow with us Princes." Shen Wanqi's voice sounded right from beside the ears, making Su Yiyang turn his head.
This man apparently climbed up and sat on the big branch next to him, explaining while grumbling about the absent Crown Prince and the Emperor who changed the rhythm of things.
Not caring anymore, Su Yiyang focused on what happened. He saw the Emperor give Xiu Qixuan a sword. "Xuan..," he choked out crying worriedly until he was unconscious of his body leaning forward.
Shen Wanqi casually replied. "Great Miss Xiu despite her many abuses but her actions are mature and intelligent, on appeal you should just think about your own fate." His word.
What actually happened at the dinner banquet...,
He continued: "Your Majesty, you are so fair to let someone with talent come to be a hunting participant tomorrow with the Princes. But, I don't see Young Master Duan worthy of such honor. I'm not talented but I understand." Xiu Qixuan said one piece without hesitation. His words were neatly arranged, sounding presumptuous yet polite.
Bruk!
Xiu Qixuan slammed her slender body into the ground, she knelt down by cupping her hands together. "Your Majesty.., I, Xiu Qixuan, ask for your permission to be able to participate in this honor!" Say
This scene, as planned. He asked for a match to be able to enter a hunting competition. Despite her status as a future imperial daughter-in-law, she does not want to be chosen or be anyone's choice to marry.
Duan Bian Jian made a mistake in the fight earlier, the man struck the opponent's dagger violently. Making the dagger draw flying was about to injure the seven future imperial daughters-in-law. However, Xiu Qixuan blocked the attack with talent and courage. And the girl asked the Emperor for unexpected compensation.
Hearing Xiu Qixuan's words, everyone nearly dropped their jaws.
"Silly girl..., why are you saying something that doesn't make sense?" Empress Gao exclaimed in anger. The ruler of the inner harem was like he did not want when a Xiu ended before he could take advantage of it.
Wei Guifei and Shang Shufei clicked their tongues of deploring and pitying Xiu Qixuan who lost his mind. They think that even though it's brave, this girl is too crazy, right? But they were all wrong—more precisely, this girl had been crazed since the beginning.
The Emperor's eyes darkened by intrigue showing displeasure, he fell silent thinking of something before finally speaking: "Well, very good. Xiu is always surprising. Big Miss Xiu.., you are the daughter of the beloved General I trust guarding the border, of course you are talented. Show it to zhen!" He got up and flicked his sleeves, pulled the sword blade of a soldier in an aggressive gesture and walked straight ahead of Xiu Qixuan.
In the back, the Empress stood up with a dark face exclaiming a voice of disapproval; "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate! A girl—,"
"What's inappropriate? Appreciate talent, rule the people wisely. Whether it's a girl though, though,... Show and come show." The emperor cut in by applying heavy, undeniable pressure. Everyone is silent.
"Great Miss Xiu.., after the autumn had passed, winter had arrived. Fox fur coat will be very rare, it will be great you have it yourself. Win this arena and go hunting tomorrow." His words were ordinary but ambiguous before he gave the sword to the petite girl in front of him.
The bouncing moonlight made the deadly weapon glitter sharply making a convex shadow in front of the beautiful face. Xiu Qixuan gulped down the body and took the sword without hesitation from the Emperor's grasp.
He looked at the Emperor with caution. There was a very foul smell coming from the old face. Something will happen in the hunt tomorrow, this old fox has prepared it carefully. This is just the beginning for him.
