Bao Xian noticed the falling petals of apricot blossoms and immediately looked towards Su Changan: "Those who feel they are weaker, continue to retreat. The Queen has also started."

Chapter 730 Where is the Gap
In the imperial study of the Zhonghe Hall, there are three swords. They are the swords worn by Xia Fengxiang's great-grandfather, grandfather, and father, who went into battle to kill the emperor's enemies after Emperor Xuanzong's rebellion.
Because of the fight between the two, the three swords, which could be called the emperor's swords, kept buzzing.
The generals and ministers who were discussing matters in the imperial study were all surprised to see the three swords buzzing.
The generals felt something clearly. Although their strength was low, their sword intent was too strong, so they felt it clearly.
Xia Fengxiang knew that the competition between Su Changan and Yu Taohua had just begun, so he signaled to everyone to disperse if they had nothing else to do.
The matter had indeed been discussed, so all the ministers stood up and saluted. Then they looked at the three swords that were now motionless, and became even more confused.
just
Just as the ministers were leaving the imperial study, they could see outside clearly because the windows of the corridor outside the study were wide open.
And outside
Many apricot petals are flying.
Many palace maids and eunuchs on duty were surprised, wondering where so many apricot petals came from in the palace, and some even reached out to catch the petals.
But the strange thing is that when the petals touch your hand, they disappear instantly.
"Empress?" Zhao Wuxiu spoke subconsciously when he saw the petals.
Because the general remembered clearly that when the Queen took action that day, there was also a similar strange scene.
When Zhao Wuxiu spoke, the other civil and military officials immediately remembered and then subconsciously looked towards the emperor.
Xia Fengxiang also noticed the petals at this time, and walked to the window. Looking at the petals, Xia Fengxiang said, "The queen is sparring with someone."
When he said this, Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment, then he said, "You all are tired, please go back. The Queen is just sparring with Yu Taohua."
Hearing this, all the ministers were surprised. They knew that the Queen was one of the top ten people in the world, and the latest list showed that the Queen's strength was above the other top ten people in the world, and was on the same level as Yan Da Commander, Yu Taohua.
But when they really heard this, they were all a little shocked.
After all, on that day, the world always felt that Commander Yan did not use his real power.
"Yes." Su Wenqing bowed and saluted His Majesty again before leaving.
Worrying is one thing.
But there was no need to worry about some things, such as the sparring. The emperor didn't say anything, so there was no need for an old man like him to say anything more.
When the others saw what the old master did, they all reacted and bowed and said goodbye.
But looking at the apricot blossom petals all over the sky outside, they are not only beautiful, but also each one is so magical.
Zong Ze glanced at Xia Fengxiang, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "It's at the Chixia Army's martial arts training ground, but don't get too close. I don't really understand it, but if you get too close you'll get hurt."
Zong Ze immediately clasped his fists.
After all the ministers left, Xia Fengxiang asked Feng Chun and others to leave as well.
In the huge imperial study, Xia Fengxiang was the only one left.
However, she did not stand by the window to look at the apricot blossoms outside, but turned around.
Just as I turned around, Grandma was already standing next to the three swords, reaching out to touch the top golden long sword with black patterns.
This was the sword of her late husband, the man who had shamelessly cheated her when she could have firmly established herself as the number one martial artist in the world.
"Too milky~~"
Xia Fengxiang no longer had the domineering aura of an empress. She now turned into a little girl who had made a mistake, looking at her grandmother and speaking shyly.
She was even a little nervous and pinched her fingers gently, feeling very embarrassed.
The only people who could make Xia Fengxiang like this were his grandmother after the death of the previous emperor, and now there is also Su Changan.
Grandma reached out and gently stroked her sword, which was good in every way except that it was too popular with women, so she married many wives and sons. Then she spoke softly, "When your grandfather was the emperor, he was not as good as your father, nor as good as you."
Xia Fengxiang looked at his grandmother.
Grandma went on to say, "But he has one good point. He listens to your great grandfather very much. He employs all the people mentioned in the letter your great grandfather left behind. And he has another good point. He fights better than your great grandfather. Soldiers respect him and generals obey him. Your great grandfather died countless times in the war without me by his side. But including your father and you, you emperors are very good at buying people's hearts, especially your grandfather's mouth. If he hadn't come out of my belly, I would have suspected that he was not my son."
This statement is actually just short of the following sentence: You emperors have dirty hearts.
However, the only one in the world who dared to criticize the previous emperors of Daxia in this way was Tainai.
unique.
Moreover, the current empress was listening on the side, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Grandma turned around and looked at Xia Fengxiang: "You drank so much last night, how are you feeling?"
Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment: "It's not bad, Su Changan made some sobering stuff for me, and I feel much better after drinking it."
Xia Fengxiang felt a little weak. After all, he mentioned drinking last night and what he said to his grandmother last night.
So Xia Fengxiang took a breath and looked at his grandmother: "Grandma, I..."
When Xia Fengxiang opened his mouth, his grandmother had already walked up to him and asked, "Do you want to watch Su Changan fight with Yu Taohua?"
Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Then he grabbed Tainai's arm.
Xia Fengxiang didn't know what happened. She just felt her mind go blank and her eyes went dark. Then she felt that she was running very fast. Thanks to her grandmother who held her in her arms, she ran and jumped a few times before she reacted.
Already on the roof of Huaye Building.
Looking down, Xia Fengxiang felt a little dizzy; it was too high.
But when he turned around, he saw the dilapidated state of the Chixia Army's training ground in the distance, as well as
The sky was filled with long swords, and among the long swords, the ground where he stood was covered with red clothes with apricot petals.
Grandma glanced at Xia Fengxiang, and then looked over there: "Don't worry about him."
Xia Fengxiang said: "No."
Grandma said: "It's all written on her face."
Xia Fengxiang bit his lower lip.
Grandma went on to say, "He's improving too fast, and has too little experience in life-and-death situations. You're going to Mobei, so it's better for him to have some combat experience. The people over there know you're here, so I don't think they'll just be fighting peacefully, so don't worry about him. If Yu Taohua can only give him some minor injuries, that would be the best. If not, there's still Yunxiao waiting for him. And since he's making such a big fuss, he should learn from Yu Taohua in this regard. Flashy and useless."
Xia Fengxiang said "Oh". It was impossible for him not to be worried. After all, the movement of the long swords in the sky was really incredible.
But, she knew very well that Tainai had no ill intentions.
Grandma's eyes were fixed over there. The two did not take action, but in fact, the sword intent had already begun to compete with each other. The development of the artistic conception depended on whose sword intent was stronger.
Although she was looking over there, her grandmother spoke up and said, "Back then, Mobei, the Uighurs, and the Tiele tribes formed an alliance and took advantage of the fact that Daxia's civil strife had just been settled to invade Daxia. Your great-grandfather led the army in person, and I followed him. The people of Mobei and Tiele knew that your great-grandfather was there, so they used all kinds of means. There were two times when I almost got fooled by those sinister witchcraft. Although your father had people protecting him back then, he was too young, so he got fooled. Although he seemed to be cured, he was already weak when he came back. If he had been nursed back then, he could have lived well, but as an emperor, especially one as ambitious as your father, how could he have nursed back then? That's why his body became weaker and weaker, and he got those diseases."
Xia Fengxiang was so smart that he looked at his grandmother and hesitated to speak because he heard the concern in her words.
Grandma continued: "The stronger he is, the more relieved I am."
Xia Fengxiang hummed, looked at his grandmother, pursed his lips, but still said: "Grandma, what I said last night..."
Just as he opened his mouth, grandma waved her hand gently, and something seemed to disappear. But if you look closely, you can see that where Hua'e Tower is, there is no apricot blossom. It is as if it is isolated. In Su Chang'an's artistic conception, a separate area is circled, and this area is not disturbed by any sword intent, nor by the oppression of those two people.
Xia Fengxiang wanted to speak, but at this moment.
Keng!
A crisp sound rang out, and Xia Fengxiang looked down and saw dust and fog filling the martial arts field. But the next moment, the dust and fog were instantly dispersed, swords flashed, and the battle between the red-clothed and green-clothed men resumed!
Grandma looked at the two and said, "You were right to complain last night."
Xia Fengxiang was startled, looked up at his grandmother, bit his lips, and felt a little guilty. Was it right to complain? Maybe it was right, but in fact, Xia Fengxiang knew that he shouldn't complain. He had complained in his heart before.
But looking back now, the complaints I made back then were actually just out of helplessness. But if I think about it carefully, I realized that I had my own reasons.
There is no reason to blame others for what happened to you.
No.
Being in the royal family, many things are even more so.
Grandma said: "What's past is past. Let's just watch Su Changan fight with others."
Xia Fengxiang looked at his grandmother's profile, nodded, then turned around to look at where Su Changan and Yu Taohua were.
Grandma has always been like this, never saying much.
And although Xia Fengxiang didn't understand anything about martial arts, she had eyes for a long time. She could see clearly. It seemed that her grandmother had separated her here so that she would not be affected.
"Can we win?" Xia Fengxiang looked at his grandmother.
Grandma looked at the two and said, "He can win, but not because he can't win at the moment."
But seeing the worry in Xia Fengxiang's eyes, the old man sighed: "See if he can see the difference between him and Yu Taohua, otherwise he is just a person with empty power. And the sword he uses has my sword spirit in it, so he can't lose."
A touch of red light, with petals all around.
A green light appeared, and the long swords in the mist around him kept flying towards him one after another.
The two of them moved so quickly that in the vision of many people, all they could see was the interweaving of red and blue light.
Yu Taohua is very fast, and it can even be said that the speed is getting faster and faster.
When the two swords collided and the toes touched the ground, the Mo Ke in Yu Taohua's hand dragged out a ink-colored sword light. At the moment it was handed over, the sword intent that had been restrained to the extreme suddenly burst out, and the ink-colored sword energy appeared on the blade, rushing straight to where Su Changan was.
Su Changan raised the white sword in his hand, and apricot petals lingered around the sword. He thrust out the sword, and the white sword light was dotted with petals, like red dots on snow.
Swish!
At the moment the swords collided, sword energy faced sword energy, sword intent faced sword intent, and then they all collapsed and dissipated. Countless sword energies crisscrossed and turned into fine sword energy that surged in all directions, and many fine lines appeared on the ground.
boom! !
