Nihuang's younger brother Mu Qing was worried that his sister would be deceived by Mei Changsu, so he sent someone to investigate the merits of his martial arts, but Meng Zhi shouted back.It turns out that Meng Zhi is an old subordinate of Chi Yan. Although he has not met Mei Changsu in the past 12 years, the two of them have been sending messages to each other, and they have already recognized Mei Changsu as Lin Shu as early as in Ningguo Duke's Mansion.He knew in the letter that Lin Shu's appearance had changed drastically due to injury, but he didn't expect that he was completely unrecognizable and it was difficult to distinguish his true appearance.Meng Zhi visited Snow Lodge at night.Mei Changsu was worried about implicating the Meng family and discouraged Meng Zhi.But Meng Zhi deeply believed in the loyalty of the Lin family and was determined to help him succeed.When asked about the unjust case of Mei Ling, Mei Changsu fell into painful memories.He only told Meng Zhi that the 70,000 Red Flame Army was almost completely wiped out. He would tell the details one by one later.
In the palace, the Queen and Yue Guifei competed to recommend candidates to Emperor Liang's consort. Emperor Liang was noncommittal and announced that Mei Changsu, recommended by Nihuang, would be in charge of the literary examination to select a bride.
In the martial arts competition, Bai Qi from Beiyan looks very ugly, but his martial arts skills are superb and unrivaled.Emperor Liang was afraid that Nihuang's marriage would make Beiyan even more powerful, so he wanted to stop this dark horse.Therefore, a banquet was held in the palace for the top ten candidates who entered the literary examination, and the plan was to delay the attack and plan for it slowly.
Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin were worried about Nihuang and approached Mei Changsu to discuss a solution.Xiao Jingrui wanted to fight with all his strength, just to get Bailiqi injured, so that Nihuang would have a better chance of winning when he fought with him.Xiao Jingrui had a special life experience.When he was born, the eldest princess of Liyang hit it off with the wife of Zhuo Dingfeng, the owner of Tianquan Villa. The two lived together and were expecting a baby at the same time.Two babies were accidentally mixed up, and their identities could not be distinguished. One of the babies died suddenly the next day, so Emperor Liang gave him a national surname and named him Xiao Jingrui.He lived in the Xie family for one year and the Zhuo family for the other year. He was the son of two surnames, so the two families were as close as one family.Later, Zhuo Qingyao, the eldest son of Zhuo, married Xie Qi, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, and even kissed her.
Mu Qing was dissatisfied with Bai Qi's victory and threatened to find someone to cripple him if he married Ni Huang.
At the banquet, King Yu proposed to let the candidates compete on the spot to add to the fun.Xiao Jingrui took the lead to challenge, but lost to Baili Qi.
