Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 1292: Extra story of Xi’er and Xiaoqi - 3_1

"Hold on! I challenge!" A man with a face full of beard, barely recognizable, leaped directly from his horse onto the fighting stage.

The man in white glanced at the bearded man and then at his horse just outside the crowd.

This man had flown directly from that horse just now!

What impressive Qinggong!

The man in white looked serious for the first time!

Xi’er looked at the bearded man on the stage, and frowned: "Where did this black-haired lion king come from?"

She detests unkempt, bearded people the most!

Besides, this man exudes a killing aura, which has undoubtedly been accumulated from killing many people! Is he some sort of bloodthirsty maniac?

Shangguan Xuanyao, looking at the pale man who is more feminine than a woman, said coldly, "Make your move! I’ll let you take the first ten moves!"

Daring to mess with Xi’er! He is looking for death!

Also! This man is so enchantingly handsome, exactly Xi’er’s type! Shangguan Xuanyao decided to make him lose face in front of Xi’er! He wants to tell Xi’er: men who look feminine are all useless!

The man in white bowed and said: "Thank you for your courtesy, sir. I will accept your offer and make my move!"

The man in white swiftly raised his sword and took a strike at Shangguan Xuanyao after saying those words.

Seeing such politeness from the man in white, Shangguan Xuanyao became so angry that his beard bristled!

His genteel and so gracious demeanor is precisely what Xi’er likes!

This man must have investigated and prepared deliberately on Xi’er! Who is he? What does he want? Which family’s son from Imperial City is he?

Upstairs, Xi’er praised the man in white, "He really acts like a master!"

Xi’er couldn’t help but cheer for the man in white: "Come on, sir in white! Smash this arrogant beard man till he runs!"

A bearded man? Shangguan Xuanyao only remembered now, in the past few years of battlefield, to seem more mature, he was not allowed to shave by his brother! He had rushed to the stage in haste, forgetting to groom himself!

Xi’er didn’t recognize him and referred him to as bearded man?

Shangguan Xuanyao was heartbroken!

Among the crowd, many of the Imperial Guards who were defeated by the man in white couldn’t help but cheer, "Go! Beard man, beat this young pretty boy down!"

"Defeat the bearded man!" Xi’er also shouted.

Listening to Xi’er cheering for another man, Shangguan Xuanyao became truly angry! He crossed his hands behind his back and skillfully dodged the sword struck by the man in white!

The Imperial Guards below watched as the man in white’s sword couldn’t even touch a strand of the bearded man’s clothing, and the morale-boosting cheers for Shangguan Xuanyao become louder!

God knows how much pressure they have had in this period!

The emperor blamed their leader, and they were scolded by their leader every day!

Every day, apart from duty, there was also training. They were tired like dogs!

Today, the entire Imperial Guard team participated in the martial arts tournament, and it was a complete wipeout!

It is imaginable how bleak their future days will be!

So now that a man who can beat this pretentious boy appeared, they could finally vent their spleen!

"First move...second move...third move...!" Shangguan Xuanyao dodged and counted.

"...tenth move!" Shangguan Xuanyao bent backwards to avoid the attack from the man in white, then he used his hands to support his body on the ground and kicked the man in white at an unimaginable speed, causing him to fly towards the edge of the stage.

The man in white reacted extremely quickly, his feet immediately landed on the guardrail of the stage, barely managing to stop himself from flying out.

Otherwise, he would have lost in just one move!

"Good!" Thunderous applause erupted from the crowd!

Having stayed on the battlefield for a long time, Shangguan Xuanyao learned not to give the enemy a chance to breathe. He somersaulted and stood up, then immediately drew his sword and struck at the man in white.

The man in white had just steadied himself, and a sharp sword was already thrusting at him. He quickly swung his sword to block it, nimbly dodged at the same time!

Then the two began to fight fiercely!

For a moment, blades and shadows whirled on the stage. Black and white shadows alternated continuously.

There were not many people in the field who could clearly see the moves on the stage.

Xi’er watched the man with the beard on the stage, and the more she looked at his moves, the more familiar they seemed. But to her knowledge, she did not know any beard men!

Xi’er doesn’t like men with beards, so even her father wasn’t allowed to have one!

Therefore, Shen Chengyao was the only minister in the Imperial Court who hadn’t grown a beard at his age!

Xi’er silently counted the number of moves between the two.

Soon, before Xi’er counted to fifty, the man in white was knocked off the stage by the bearded man!

"Good! Good! Good!..." The crowd cheered loudly!

The leader of the Imperial Guard, had been incognito in the crowd, sweating nervously as he watched the day’s competition. Seeing this scene, he immediately turned back to the palace to report to the emperor.

A sense of familiarity grew stronger in Xi’er’s heart! She couldn’t recall who he was.

After the man in white was thrown off, he adjusted his body in mid-air before landing, avoiding falling flat on the ground.

Then, the referee on the stage asked loudly, "Is there anyone else who wants to challenge this gentleman in black?"

No one responded, the man in white had been defending the stage for many days, practically invincible in Imperial City!

Now this man had defeated the man in white!

This implies that he is more powerful than the man in white!

Who would want to shame themselves by stepping on the stage!

"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge this gentleman?" the referee asked again.

Still, there was no answer from the crowd below.

"Last call: Is there anyone else who wants to challenge this gentleman?"

Again, no one responded.

"Good, now I declare: this gentleman in black has won this tournament! If he can surpass our young lady’s test, he can be our young lady’s future husband!"

Shangguan Xuanyao finally let out a sigh of relief when he heard those words!

People underneath the stage couldn’t help but congratulate Shangguan Xuanyao.

Shangguan Xuanyao graciously thanked everybody for their support and encouragement.

Thankfully he arrived in time! Otherwise, he would have likely been a bachelor for his whole life while protecting his bride with the emperor’s help!

So unreliable! freeweɓnøvel.com

Shangguan Xuanyao glanced at a certain direction at the Four Seasons Restaurant, where the silhouette of his dreams was undoubtedly present!

Xi’er, I’m back! Shangguan Xuanyao proclaimed silently.

Xi’er felt Shangguan Xuanyao’s gaze on her, she glared back at him: She refused to marry the bearded man!

She’d poison him until he cannot rise again!
