"Women will only affect the speed at which you draw your saber.”
…
Hearing this, Yuan Xiaotang's face turned red. She couldn't help but glare at Fang Yuting. She blamed Fang Yuting for affecting her speed of drawing her saber.
Fang Yuting was speechless.
"No wonder you were able to save the Empress Dowager.”Yuan Xiaotang laughed dryly.
"Your strength is not bad." As Xiao Xun spoke, his gaze looked towards the front of the courtyard.
Yuan Xiaozhi and the others walked out of the main hall and stood in the corridor under the eaves.
"Little Tang, you have to learn from Thousand Householder Xiao in the future.”Yuan Xiaozhi opened his mouth and secretly glared at Yuan Xiaotang.
This brat only knew how to embarrass himself.
Yuan Xiaotang couldn't help but shrink her neck.
Xiao Xun walked towards the front of the courtyard. The Brocade Guards on both sides tactfully made way for him.
His eyes calmly sized up the crowd in the courtyard. Xiao Xun keenly sensed two gazes filled with killing intent.
One of them stood beside Yuan Xiaozhi in the corridor.
The other person stood in the courtyard. He was a fatty.
"Commander Yuan."
Arriving at the front of the courtyard and standing outside the eaves, Xiao Xun opened his mouth and called out.
Yuan Xiaozhi nodded and said," Let me introduce everyone. This is Thousand Households Xiao. He is the hero who rescued the Empress Dowager yesterday. His name is Xiao Xun."
His Majesty has already conferred Xiao Xun the title of Thousand Households of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. In the future, he will also be a member of our Embroidered Uniform Guards.”
“……”
The Embroidered Uniform Guards whispered and discussed in low voices.
Xiao Xun listened attentively and heard many jealous words. The gazes of some people also became envious and jealous.
"Thousand Households Xiao, according to the tradition of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, to be promoted to a Thousand Households, you need to show off your skills in front of everyone.”Yuan Xiaozhi looked at Xiao Xun and smiled." The Embroidered Uniform Guards belong to the military. Within the military, the strong are always respected.”
"Sure." Xiao Xun nodded. Yuan Xiaozhi had already told him about this yesterday.
He also knew that when a new official took office, he would definitely have to establish his prestige.
Yuan Xiaozhi swept his gaze across the Brocade Guards in the courtyard and asked with a smile,""Who is willing to come over and exchange a few moves with Thousand Households Xiao?”
The courtyard gradually quieted down.
Some of the Embroidered Uniform Guards who had planned to attack had seen the battle between Xiao Xun and Yuan Xiaotang, so they gave up on the idea.
"I'll do it!"
A female voice sounded.
Hearing this voice, Yuan Xiaozhi's face darkened.
The one who spoke was his adopted daughter, Fang Yuting.
"Yuting, even I am not his match, let alone you. Don't humiliate yourself.”Yuan Xiaotang was speechless.
"Bastard, even if you can't do it, it doesn't mean that I can't.”
Fang Yuting cursed and walked straight to Xiao Xun.
Xiao Xun turned around and looked indifferently at Fang Yuting who was walking over.
Fang Yuting stopped ten feet away from Xiao Xun. She cupped her hands and said,"Please advise me."
Just now, Xiao Xun's words of 'women will only affect the speed at which you draw your saber', had made Fang Yuting very unhappy.
Yuan Xiaozhi frowned. He wanted to stop her, but he was worried that others would think that he was playing favorites.
"Under my blade, there is no distinction between men and women." Xiao Xun said indifferently," Are you sure you want to challenge me?”
"Under my blade, there's no distinction between men and women." Fang Yuting snorted.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Fang Yuting felt a cold light flash in front of her eyes.
Before she could even grab the hilt of her sword, an embroidered spring knife was pressed against her neck.
"Anyone can talk big."
Xiao Xun sheathed his saber, his expression very calm.
The difference in strength between the two of them was too great. He simply could not muster up the mood to make a second move.
Fang Yuting's face instantly flushed red, feeling extremely ashamed.
"Yuting, leave." Yuan Xiaozhi said in a deep voice.
Fang Yuting did not say a word and silently retreated to the side.
Some of the young Embroidered Uniform Guards could not help but glare at Xiao Xun when they saw Fang Yuting's appearance.
"You don't know how to be gentle with women." Someone whispered.
Xiao Xun's expression was normal.
If he was gentle, how could he establish his prestige?
Yuan Xiaozhi glanced at Lu Wenzhao, who was standing beside him.
This time.
What Xiao Xun took over was the Thousand Households position that originally belonged to Lu Wenzhao.
Two nights ago, when the three thieves wreaked havoc in Jingdou, the Nether Fire Monk set fire to the Saint Origin Pavilion. At that time, the person in charge of guarding the Saint Origin Pavilion was Zuo Gongzheng, the governor of the Northern Town.
Because of his poor performance in guarding Saint Origin Pavilion, Zuo Qianhu had been dismissed and sent to prison the night before. Yesterday morning, Lu Wenzhao had replaced him.
In the end, before his butt had even sat for a day, the thousand-household position had already passed to Xiao Xun.
Lu Wenzhao took a deep breath and walked towards the stairs under the eaves.
"I am Lu Wenzhao. Greetings, Thousand Households Xiao.”
Lu Wenzhao cupped his hands, his eyes staring straight at Xiao Xun, revealing his sharpness.
He had spent a lot of money to get the position of a thousand households for a long time. In the end, he had just gotten it, but it was taken away by this person in front of him. He was holding back his anger.
"Lu Wenzhao."
Xiao Xun was deep in thought and asked," Am I replacing your position as a thousand households?”
Lu Wenzhao was silent. After a while, he grunted.
"If you win, I'll return the position of Thousand Households to you.”Xiao Xun said indifferently.
"Hmm?"
Lu Wenzhao was startled. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Xiao Xun, then sneered," You are a thousand household personally conferred by His Majesty. How would I dare to offend my superior?”
"If you don't dare, then get lost." Xiao Xun said coldly.
The surroundings were silent, and everyone held their breaths.
Lu Wenzhao's face turned gloomy and he said coldly,""Then I won't stand on ceremony."
After saying that.
He immediately pulled out the Embroidered Spring Saber hanging at his waist.
Xiao Xun's eyes flashed with disdain as he looked at Lu Wenzhao indifferently.
Lu Wenzhao's expression became colder and colder. He saw the blatant contempt and mockery in Xiao Xun's eyes.
"Bastard."
Lu Wenzhao cursed in his heart. He suddenly leaped up, and his figure instantly appeared in front of Xiao Xun. The Embroidered Spring Saber slashed down wildly.
Xiao Xun's body shifted slightly to the right, easily avoiding Lu Wenzhao's attack.
"Too slow." Xiao Xun commented.
Lu Wenzhao's expression changed. He instantly changed his saber momentum and slashed towards Xiao Xun once again.
This time.
Xiao Xun didn't dodge. His right index finger and middle finger lightly flicked the back of the saber, producing a crisp sound.
Lu Wenzhao staggered and took two steps back.
Xiao Xun suddenly stepped forward and stretched out his right hand, grabbing Lu Wenzhao's neck.
Lu Wenzhao's feet left the ground, and a strong sense of suffocation assaulted him, causing his face to turn extremely red.
"Is Rank-5 very strong?"
Xiao Xun mocked," Trash, even if I give you a chance, you're useless!”
As he spoke.
He threw Lu Wenzhao onto the stone steps under the eaves.
"Puff ~"
Lu Wenzhao spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale and dispirited.
