"But after all, he is his aunt's child and Dan'er's cousin."

"Hmph, he only remembers that he is the seventeenth highness of Beichen Kingdom, where is still your well-behaved cousin. Time is running out, so let's go down and get ready to go. When the distance between the two of us is widened, we will do it. ”

Cheng Dandan frowned, "From the beginning to the present, the distance between King Zongcheng and His Royal Highness does not seem to be far away. In her eyes, the riding skills expressed by the king were a little too ordinary, and she faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Two more laps, the distance is right, and if it's not suitable, there's no other way." Cheng Zhongjun now only sees that his plan must be implemented, and he will do it when he finds the opportunity.

"So, grandpa be careful."

"Hmm. You don't need to look at it here. You go and see how Taishi Qi is preparing, in the past few days, our Cheng family has been showing up and taking the lead, and his Qi family is comfortable and wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman. It's time for their men and horses to show their faces in place, and if necessary, we will reveal some news, the regent's people are already suspicious, and it would be better if they could catch the feet of the Qi family. ”

"Yes."

Cheng Dandan left, her steps were extremely heavy, she felt that the more power she had in her hands, the more she was squeezed by the family, and at the same time, the more she was ashamed of her trust in Her Majesty, I hope that this time it will not cause too much harm to Her Majesty, and cousin, she will not be able to protect it after all, I only hope that his injury can be lighter.

Not far away, Guan Qianyi has always felt that Cheng Zhongjun's appearance is suspicious, at this moment in the race, he shouldn't still be standing outside the track, and the other parties need to be sent and transferred, what did Cheng Guogong say to Cheng Diansi?

At this time, Cui Lei approached Guan Qianyi's side, "Lord Wang, our men and horses are ready, and we are waiting for Taishi Qi's movements." But he seemed to be waiting for some order, and there was not much movement. ”

Guan Qianyi frowned irrepressibly: This feeling is really bad. He hated the situation of being able to detect the other party's unusual movements, but not knowing their purpose. Now Cheng Zhongjun obviously has an unusual behavior here. Maybe it's just to create a suitable opportunity to give Qi Taishi a reason or signal to make trouble.

But what Guan Qianyi never understood was that the Qi family and the Cheng family, what purpose did the two great families come together? Are they going to come to the field to catch a certain handle and force the palace?

But what are their bargaining chips and reasons for forcing the palace?

He must have missed some links and some truths. There may be some details that he didn't notice. But. Time seems to be running out now.

Although Qi Taishi has already revealed some of his people, Qi Taishi can completely shirk that this is the additional manpower that Cheng Guogong asked to send, and in this part of the capital, he and Cheng Guogong are in charge of one side, and there will be basically no conflict. But it is very taboo to intervene across the line, and if you are not careful, you will be sued.

Cui Yue still wanted to say something, but when he saw the prince's face change abruptly, when he turned his gaze, he happened to see Beichen Luo's mount suddenly staggering, only to hear a neighing of a horse on the field, and the mount suddenly ran wildly, Cui Lei immediately rushed up to save people, but Guan Qianyi caught Cheng Zhongjun's sight at this moment. But he looked at Li Wei in the stands.

At this moment, Guan Qianyi figured out a certain joint, and when he looked at the arena in a blink of an eye, the crazy horses were galloping, and it happened that the king of Zongcheng was not far away at that time, and he had no intention of competing when he saw this, a horse approached the crazy horse, put his finger in his mouth, and a sharp whistle sounded, and the horse seemed to not hear such a whistle. Rushing straight again, Beichenluo's face turned pale, but he clung to the reins and tried his best to keep sitting and holding on. Don't let it go down to the ground.

Guan Qianyi suddenly felt that having this younger brother was not entirely a good thing. In this way, he put his eyes back on Cheng Zhongjun, and saw that he seemed to be particularly dissatisfied and looked at Li Wei several times, and then saw that Li Wei did not have any abnormalities, probably wondering why she had not caused the lock poison, but he gritted his teeth and turned his eyes back to the arena. Pretending to be surprised and worried, he made a gesture to rescue Beichenluo.

The lock heart is poisonous, it is really under the Cheng family, right?

Zong Chengwang's equestrian skills seemed to have suddenly risen to a higher level, and he actually grabbed the reins with one hand, leaned sideways, and wanted to grab Beichen Luo, who was one step away, but Crazy Horse did not cooperate, and he jumped long in a few steps, and his hind legs seemed to have been spasming, and he was trying to throw the person on his back down.

Beichen Luo's hand grasping the reins had already ground out blood blisters, he gritted his teeth and insisted, shook his head and said to Zong Chengwang, "Don't worry about the main hall, you can run by yourself!" ”

King Zongcheng laughed, "Your Highness is so backbone!" It's a pity that this riding and archery competition has no opponent, how can it be exciting? King Zongcheng scolded, whipped him, and immediately took a few steps closer to him, reaching out to touch him.

Beichen Luo didn't appreciate it, he thought that even if he fell to his death, he wouldn't end up like this! It's already in the final lap, as long as he holds on a little longer, he can reach the finish line! He hoped that he would not disappoint the imperial sister, that he would be complete and try his best to win, and if not, not lose too ugly.

"Cui Lei, escort you, get out of the way!" Beichen Lu drank away Cui Lei, who had always wanted to get closer, and actually twitched the horsewhip again, grabbed the reins, and let it continue to accelerate and run.

"You kid is crazy!" King Zongcheng was surprised!

"Your Highness-" Cui Lei was also unable to rescue him, so he could only look at Beichen Lu who was taken away by Crazy Horse.

Grinding the bloody reins tightly, Beichen Luo felt a sudden sharp pain in his left foot, gritted his teeth, looked at the end of the three fences in front of him, closed his eyes, and let the destiny take him over.

Li Wei had already rushed down, Guan Qianyi stopped her, and at the moment when Beichen Luo crossed the finish line, she lifted herself forward, took off and hugged Beichen Luo, and turned around after landing, but saw Cui Yue raise her foot and give the crazy horse a kick, and then stretched out her hand to slap it to the ground.

"The Imperial Doctor—"

Beichen Luo was sent for treatment, and Li Wei didn't have the heart to listen to the results of the competition, but she had to stay, and the results could only be announced if she was present.

Mama Bi followed Beichen Luo and promised her that His Royal Highness would be intact, and Li Wei asked Cui Yue to go with the imperial doctor, and report any situation immediately.

The second match was a bit of a surprise, but the result was still there.

Somehow these moods of the king of Chengcheng were much better, and this accident came by coincidence, saving him the trouble of pretending to be crazy and handsome, and also avoiding him from accepting many incomprehensible eyes and disdain after the event was equal. Of course, even if he is in a good mood at the moment. But he also couldn't express his joy too much, after all, it was His Royal Highness of Beichen Kingdom who was injured.

So, after riding his horse over three railings, he immediately came to the master of ceremonies. It's good to say that this competition is declared a draw.

The master of ceremonies couldn't make up his mind, looked at the not too happy look of the envoy of Xiyu Kingdom, and saw that His Majesty was not in the mood to deal with this tail, and his mood was a little unblocked.

Fortunately, Guan Qianyi was quite stable and gave the order very quickly. 陛xià's mood soon stabilized.

"There was a little accident in this competition, how could the emperor's horse suddenly go crazy? I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and I ask Xiao Aiqing to protect the relevant human and material evidence and immediately open the investigation. ”

Xiao Liangyi nodded yes, ordered the dead horse to be removed intact, and took a closer look at the track, but he didn't find much, and turned around to tell His Majesty.

Everyone thought that this third competition would probably be postponed, but they didn't expect Li Wei to spend too long dwelling on this matter, but announced:

"The royal brother is injured. I'm worried. However, when the emperor sent him away, he told him that today's competition must be carried out, and he didn't want the competition he worked hard to get back ended in vain and was inconclusive. So, Master of Ceremonies, please announce the results of the contest and then move on to the third contest. ”

These few cutscenes were naturally added by Li Wei herself, because if you don't explain it like this, some people with intentions will definitely use it as a handle. said that she, for the sake of the competition and the so-called national honor, even disregarded her brother's life.

The master of ceremonies responded with a sharp voice, "This competition has been verified by assessment." His Royal Highness the Seventeenth of Beichen Kingdom took a short time, and the accuracy of archery was ** out of ten, but he did not succeed in crossing the obstacle; It took a long time for the king of the Xiyu Kingdom to inherit the king, and the accuracy rate of archery was nine or nine times out of ten, and one arrow landed and successfully crossed the obstacle. So the result of this competition is-"

Everyone was attentive, and the master of ceremonies, who only listened, said the word "equal", and suddenly sighed.

Xi Yu Guo did not agree with the flat result, but the number of ceremonies reported was very accurate, and they did not take sides, they couldn't find a reason to refute, but they were a little dissatisfied with the king of Zongcheng: the prince shouldn't just be at this level, if it wasn't for the accident in the middle, with the skills of the prince, he would definitely be able to reach the end one step ahead of Beichenluo.

But King Zongcheng himself said that it was a draw, what could they do?

The old man seemed to be in a hurry, his breath was not smooth, he coughed a few times, and the bearded man beside him stood up and came to the old man's side, "The old man doesn't have to worry, this third game, let me fight." ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately got up, "In this way, there is Lao Liugongzi." ”

Liu Gongzi nodded, his expression was already a little arrogant, but the elder also ignored it, who made him a person who fell into the water now, it is good to be able to grasp a straw.

What's more, he believes that the Liu Gongzi in front of him will never be just a fluttering straw, but a life-saving driftwood.

"Your Majesty, please let the old minister go up to fight!"

I don't know when, Cheng Guogong has already come to Li Wei, pointing to Mrs. Wei to ask His Majesty to make the decision.

Wei Taifu touched his beard, "Your Majesty, Cheng Guogong disobeys the old minister's arrangement, do you see?" ”

Li Wei didn't bother to pay attention to the two old things, but she thought about it, maybe Beichenluo's matter was related to him, so her face became worse and worse.

"Lord Guogong is not young anymore, and I can't let Luo'er's grandfather get hurt too."

"Weichen's body is tough, don't underestimate Weichen."

"Cheng Guogong and Wei Taifu, the two of you each talk about your reasons, and I will see who has the reason."

Cheng Guogong took the lead, "The old minister has been fighting for many years, even if he retreats from the battlefield, he will exercise every day, and I hope to continue to escort Beichen for His Majesty one day." This third game is even more dangerous, as dangerous as a battlefield, and the old minister believes that the Lord Regent will not have a second person who can compare with the old man. So the old man asks for war, please ask your majesty to give permission. ”

Hearing him praise Guan Qianyi, Li Wei was in a slightly smoother mood and looked at Mrs. Wei.

Wei Taifu said unhurriedly, "Since Your Majesty has put the decision-making power of selecting people into the hands of Wei Chen, Wei Chen should try his best to seize this opportunity. Weichen believes that Guogong is close to sixty years old, and he is an elderly person, so it is okay to fight with Weichen on weekdays, and there is no need for dangerous competitions such as riding horses and horses, in case of losing a pillar of the court in a row, Weichen is also guilty. At the same time, the candidates sent by Weichen will never be bad, although it cannot be said that it can be applied to the grandfather of the country, it is also possible to cope with this competition. ”

Cheng Guogong caught the loophole in his words, "Deal with the competition? Taifu means that you are not sure of victory, do you? ”

"Could it be that Guogong is sure of victory when he plays?" Wei Taifu asked rhetorically, but Cheng Guogong was held back, and Wei Taifu said again, "There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and Wechen is confident that he will win, but if there is an emergency like His Highness the Seventeenth, it will be difficult for Wechen to give a guarantee." ”

"Hmph, why didn't Mrs. Nawei say who the opponent was? Are you worried that Your Majesty will object? If he really has the ability to do it than Wechen, Wechen will not say much. ”

Wei Taifu saw that the time was almost up, and it didn't hurt to say, "Your Majesty, the person Wei Chen likes is from Lushe. ”

Li Wei was surprised, "Lu Xiao? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Taifu seemed to be quite satisfied with Lu Xiao, and his expression became proud.

Cheng Guogong looked dissatisfied, "A scholar, Wei Taifu Mo thinks that he is your proud protégé and can take the martial champion if he wins the champion?" It's ridiculous! Your Majesty, you also heard it, Wei Taifu's decision is really ridiculous. ”

Li Wei didn't decide that it couldn't be done, after all, Lu Xiao's martial arts foundation was good, but ordinary people didn't notice it. It's just that she thought about many possibilities, but she didn't think it was Lu Xiao.

Wei Taifu said, "Your Majesty, Lu Xiao looks like a scholar, but he is actually both civil and military, but after winning the champion, Weichen asked him to be more low-key, his talent is so unattainable, if he is even superior in martial arts, where will this make people who have been in martial arts all their lives lose face?" ”

The corners of Cheng Guogong's mouth twitched: The person who has been crawling and rolling in martial arts all his life that this dead old man said is he Cheng Guogong? Damn it!

Li Wei almost couldn't hold back her laughter, but she coughed, "The court really needs some fresh faces." Since the Lord Guogong has been fighting all his life and is full of fame, this time he will give the opportunity to the juniors, and it is their certainty to lose or win. Moreover, if you really lose, it's not too late to try another game and turn the tide. (To be continued.) )
