Those setbacks in the past were not all in vain.
It just saves its value for a later day.
For example, Xie Ren's several failures, such as Xie Ren's bloodshed on the battlefield, all made him more comfortable than others in the martial arts competition in front of him.
He is not afraid of injuries or pain. When he stands in the martial arts arena, every injury is recognition and reward for him. As long as he can still stand up, he will definitely move forward!
The palace selects sixteen people, two of them fight against each other, and a total of 16 people are divided into Western rounds.
Jiang Ningyao was watching Xie Ren's every move on the stage from the curtained stand.
Xie Ren was indeed different, like a different person, but not completely changed, especially when he deliberately turned his head to look towards her after winning every round, the pride on his face and the raised eyebrows, It's exactly the same as when he was a kid and needed a beating.
"Jiang Ningyao, I can blow up the chicken coop, can you?"
"Jiang Ningyao, I can stand on my head and ride a horse, can you?"
"Jiang Ningyao, what's so great about you being a princess? I can command the children in Huaizhou, but can you command the children in the capital?"
She couldn't. Naturally, she couldn't bring firecrackers with her every day to blow up the sky and the earth. She couldn't stand upside down and hold the reins between her teeth while riding a horse and then have a front tooth pulled out. She couldn't order all the children in the city to beat her up.
She is a princess, a princess who must hold her head high and upright in everything she says and does.
She only cracked the whip occasionally when she was angry.
Queen Rong on the side was paying attention to Jiang Ningyao's every move. She watched her daughter watching Xie Ren on the court.
When Xie Ren is hit by an opponent, she will clench her fist nervously.
When Xie Ren fights back, she will smile and jump for joy.
There was no one outside in the west, so Queen Rong couldn't help but sigh, and said seriously: "Yao'er, do you like Xie Ren so much?"
"I'm just a playmate when I was a child. We get along occasionally for a few days. Are you sure this is a love that can last you a lifetime?" Queen Rong didn't mean anything else. She just made sure that her daughter had thought clearly.
Jiang Ningyao turned to look at her mother and said slowly: "Mother, although Aunt Qin is deeply attached to your sisters, the Xie family is not related to us. There are several members of the Xie family who do not agree with the Xie family. Being involved in the struggle for imperial power, there were many arguments in private. The children in those rooms probably heard the adults' discussions. When I went to Huaizhou for the first time, they booed me and called me "beggar" behind me. beggar'……"
Empress Rong was stunned. She had expected this before, but every time her son wrote a letter, it was a good news. Her daughter was happy to come back. She also made noises about going to Huaizhou every year, so she didn't think much about it.
"It was Xie Ren who jumped out and punched them all, beating them to the ground."
"Afterwards, the children of the Xie family no longer dared to be disrespectful to me. When they saw me, they would bow their heads and respectfully call me 'Her Royal Highness'."
"Mother, my daughter will never forget a single song, that scene, or that Xie Ren who punched for me."
Empress Rong's heart went back and forth a thousand times. She felt uncomfortable when she thought of her children's injustice, but she was glad that someone stood beside her daughter on her behalf at that time.
"If this is the case, Queen Mother will be relieved." Queen Rong said with a smile.
"ah--"
The mother and daughter were talking to each other when an exclamation came from the ring.
Jiang Ningyao turned her head, just in time to see Xie Ren draw an arc in the air like a piece of rag thrown out, and then fell heavily to the edge of the ring with a loud bang.
Jiang Ningyao suddenly stood up from the chair.
While they were talking, the competition in the arena had reached the final round. Xie Ren and the powerful Qingzhou Wu Jieyuan battled to determine the final leader.
After three rounds of fighting, Xie Ren had already suffered a loss and his physical strength had been exhausted to the limit.
There was a huge difference in size between him and Wu Jieyuan from Qingzhou, and Wu Jieyuan knocked him out with one punch.
Jiang Ningyao looked at Xie Ren lying down on the ring with her heart raised, and everyone also held their breath and watched the movement on the ring.
Xie Ren lay there motionless. Just when everyone thought he was dead, Xie Ren struggled to stand up, tilted his head, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Come again."
Xie Ren suddenly rushed towards his opponent quickly, and his fists struck him like a gust of wind.
The opponent didn't expect that he could be so fast after being punched. His body slowed down for a moment, and he was knocked back repeatedly by the punch. But soon, the opponent reacted, waved his hand and punched with all his strength.
boom--
Xie Ren flew out again and hit the ring.
Jiang Ningyao seemed to hear the sound of his bones breaking. She couldn't sit still anymore, opened the curtain and ran towards the ring.
Just as he was running downstairs to the ring, Xie Ren stood up, fell down again, stood up, fell down again.
He kept repeating it, but he got up slower and slower, and the fists he threw out became slower and slower.
If no one admits defeat, the duel will continue until one side can no longer stand up.
Xie Ren refused to admit defeat. Although the opponent was also exhausted, he was in better condition than him.
Xie Ren was hit again. He fell on the edge of the ring with a bruised nose and swollen face, and his mouth was full of blood.
Jiang Ningyao rushed over regardless of the guards' obstruction.
"That's okay, thank you Ren."
she shouted to him.
If this continues, he will die.
She knew he was proving to her, keeping his promise to her.
Enough, really enough.
"Xie Ren, you are already the second best. The second best is very powerful. I will also marry you if you are the second best."
Xie Ren was dizzy, his mouth was filled with the smell of blood, his whole body felt like it had been torn apart, and even his breathing was in piercing pain.
He heard her voice, slowly opened his eyes, and followed the sound to search for her figure.
"But I... still want to be perfect..." He opened his mouth and said slowly.
Panting heavily, he reached out and took out the 'Winning Talisman' from his chest. Unexpectedly, the talisman was stained with blood, leaving a dark red shadow.
"When you begged for me, were you sincere?"
Jiang Ningyao hated his stubbornness and his stubbornness, but there was nothing she could do about him.
With tears in her eyes, she nodded to him.
"Sincerity, you don't know how sincere I am. I also made a wish to Buddha. If you can win the first prize, I will not kill any living being for ten years..."
"What a poisonous wish... Do I want to follow you and eat lotus root tips for ten years?"
Xie Ren looked up to the sky and laughed dryly, then turned to look at her:
"Jiang Ningyao, is there something I've never said to you before?"
Xie Ren suddenly stood up from the ground.
"Jiang Ningyao, I like you——"
Xie Ren suddenly shouted loudly, and his voice spread throughout the Xuanwu Hall.
While shouting, he quickly rushed towards the opponent on the opposite side, grabbed his arm, threw him over his shoulder and threw him to the ground...
